Open Wardrobes

Last night I auditioned for The Hanging of the Greens at Lakeshore Players. It's a fun, sweet little show and I'm sure would be a blast. It's a new play written and directed by Claudia Haas who writes here about the trials and tribulations of trying to pick people for the kids parts from a large and talented pool. I only saw a subset, of course, who I read with, but even from the 10 kids I saw there was definitely a lot of good talent. I don't envy Claudia's task of casting this one! (And with another evening of auditions still to come tonight.)


I felt that my audition went well, so I am hopeful! Call backs are tomorrow night and rehearsals start on Monday, so I won't have long to wait to find out. That's the part about acting that I've always liked the least - waiting to hear if you've been cast. In college the cast lists would always be posted by the theater, and I remember passing by about 10 times a day waiting for it. And then once it's up, feeling that mixture of excitement and dread as you quickly scan the list to see if your name is included! At any rate, if I make it in it promises to be great fun, and if I don't then I suppose I have a few plays I should be working on.
