Last night my family and I went to auditions for The Wizard of Oz at Payson Community Theater. You might think "ew, community theater" but I just got to tell you that Payson's community theater is very good. I have been in three productions with Payson, The King and I, Singin in the Rain, and the Utah Valley premiere of Cats. They have been some of the best experiences of my life.
Any who, at the auditions last night, I auditioned for Dorothy (though I already know that I won't get the part. Too young, but might as well try) and any other part that the director would want me in. I would really like to be a Jitterbug because they have the big dance number. There was a dance part of the audition, which I think I did relatively well at. It was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed that part.
Then there was the singing part. I sang On My Own from Les Miserables. Sarah sang God Help the Outcasts from The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Amanda sang Honey Bun from South Pacific. Dad sang Dulcinea from Man of La Mancha and mom sang Defying Gravity from Wicked. Singing is one of my favorite things to do, but I didn't really feel too confident last night. For one reason, I have a cold. For another reason, I know everyone that I was singing for, the director, the music director, the co-director, because I've worked with all of them before. I felt like they'd have a certain expectation and that I wouldn't fill it, so I was very nervous. I think I did alright. The rest of my family did terrific.
Mom and dad are at callbacks as I speak, or I should say, type. Mom is being called back for two roles, dad for one. And, because we are extremely good friends with the director, he thought it would be funny not to tell them what roles they were being called back for. Ha ha. Mom could hardly sleep last night. I'm dieing of curiosity right now because I won't know until they get home.
The director told Sarah, Amanda, and I that we are all cast, but we didn't need to come for callbacks. That means we are in the play, we've been cast, and that we don't have any lead roles. Which, I can tell you, is a big relief. But he didn't tell us what roles he cast us in. URGH! I don't know when I'll find that out. Someday I will and then I'll be able to relax a little.
