I Already Did That!

Ok, so I backslid.

I said I never would audition for THAT director's shows again. He asked. I did.

The same shit happened.

Since Sunday, I've been going over & over in my mind...what exactly happened. What did I do wrong at auditions.

Not a FUCKING thing. I sang "Stars and the Moon" from "Songs for a New World" by Jason Robert Brown, and even though the pianist sucked, I think I did one of my better auditions. I didn't oversing. I didn't really belt at all. So, I felt comfortable. I just SANG.

Sooo...I didn't get a callback.

Wait...it gets better.

15 women DID get a callback. Yep. FIFTEEN. Including a woman who makes a foghorn sound pretty. So, basically I knew that I was being fucked again by this same man. Which might be enjoyable...if...(insert your pun here)

But wait again...there's more to this story. The woman with the BEST voice in town auditions. Gets called back. Gets asked to stay. Is told she wasn't cast because he's casting a guy for the role. Ok, whatever. The next day, he makes calls for more people to audition for the show.

Waaaiiittt a minute here...isn't the protocol for Community Theater to have audtions, callbacks...then cast the show. But I guess when you are the artistic director you can have auditions, callbacks, then call people to audition again...even though you had at least SIX people who could have done that role.

So, he casts the GIRL he called to audition. Whhhaaat? I won't comment on HER voice. But let's just say...nails...chalkboard.

So, I'm stewing. Pissed. Mad. Should I email this director? Should I call him and cry, and let him know how much he hurt me by doing this?

So, I am flipping through "The View" this morning, and saw that Beverly Sills was the guest co-host. Could be interesting. So, she is telling this story on how she retired from opera, and went on to run the City Opera for 10 years. At the end of her 10 years there, her husband said "You already did that", and handed her a ring with "I already did that" inscribed on it.

He was not telling her NOT to do said thing again, but rather it was a reminder to herself that she DIDN'T have to do it again.

So when it comes to said director...I Already Did That. When it comes to the show "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat"...I Already Did That. And extremely well.
