solidfoamsoulToday I'm disappointed. Yesterday I was angry.
I didn't get "Mrs. Drudge."
I bet if John was directing I totally would've.
Figures that feeling really confident about my reading and having other people tell you how fantastic you are and how "gangster" your English accent is can only lead to massive dissapointment.
And it's ridiculously unfair. No, seriously. Only three other girls read for the part. And after their first reading no one vollunteered to read it again. So I was always going up for the read through. Monday night Dennis (the director) told me they (he and John, assistant directing and my former acting teacher) were looking at me for Mrs. Drudge. I bet they went with the chick with the really fake sounding Cockney accent.
Cor, blimey.
I was doing a Northern. Manchester, really. They draw out their words longer (and Dennis said he even wanted that, "Maybe she doesn't have to be cockney, but she's a character who knows everything about the house and probably draws her sentences and words out..") and it's different than the obvious "lower class" accent.
Ugh.
Whatever.
Brogden (who played Alan in "Picnic" with me. I was Christine.) was asked to do crew as well, so we were all, "Well, if you will, I will." So he's fun. Plus we're gonna audition for "Cabert" and "Company" at Gilburt Theater and Cape Fear Theater.
Screw you, my own school.
Mock Turtle Ringo still loves me.
Current mood:
frustrated
