And, in conclusion
Apr. 28th, 2013 09:16 pmI got the part. You are looking (relatively speaking) at the new Alice Bloomfield in Zoot Suit. (Only the play, not the movie. Of which I've seen neither. which is fairly typical to my experience. But I've read the play).
Squee.

Acting woes
Apr. 13th, 2013 05:30 pmOnly, you know, not really.
I've been asked if I'm interested in auditioning for a part in Zoot Suit. The only problem is it's a really bad part of the year (ie the beginning of school). Also, I was under the impression (via a butthurt white woman) that there "were no white people" in the play. But, apparently Tyne Daly played her in the movie?
IDK. I hate saying no, and a part of me is... interested in seeing if the beginning of the school year might be more bearable if I'm distracted, but....
I need someone to make decisions for me, yo.
Also, my printer is a lost cause, so I have to buy a new one before the Hannibal script disappears. The part of me that wants to be Will Graham is insisting I memorize his lines. You know, in case I ever get to do a scene of it, like I did with the opening scene of Pulp Fiction in college (because, now that I've graduated and live in the real world, opportunities to do random scenes from movies and TV shows just happen). Anyway. That's what I want to do. Because my life is small and weird.

Went to an audition for the next season at the theater I occasionally play in. I don't know why I keep doing the musical theater portion; I suck at them. The dance portion went from "Oh, hey, I think I can do this" to "No, no, it's okay. I can do this," to "Dear God, why doesn't he just stop and I' bright pink and just keep smiling and moving your feet."
The singing was about what I always do, namely not as well as I sing on my own, but slightly better than a cat in heat.
I didn't get to do much for the acting part, but that's about on par with last year, and I got a huge part, so...
Anyway, after I finished screeching, the head of the company told me that he's been asked to put on "The Pastures of Heaven" in the actual Pastures of Heaven, and would I be interested in reprising my role to do it. Of course the answer as a resounding Hell Yes.
So, now's the part where i keep my fingers crossed and hope I get in the play I really want (Importance of Being Earnest) or at least the other play (Grapes of Wrath)

Swear to god
Nov. 10th, 2012 04:22 pmIf I had asked my dad to write a story about a girl who saves the world, and he wrote The Passage, I would kick him.
Not that the book is bad. As a plague/vampire/survivor's journey book, it's engaging. As is The Twelve (although I'm getting tired of the individual stories ending abruptly TBC in the next book), but, dude. This is not a story about a girl who saves the world. It's about a girl who holds some kind of power in her and all the men who get to do actual shit while she sits off screen and is mysterious.
Someone keeps coming into my house, throwing stuff on the floor, and using my dishes making my house a perpetual mess. I would kick that person, but I never seem to see them.
The next season for the theater I do plays with was just released, and I'm not thrilled. The only musical I'd really be interested is Side by Side with Sondheim and that's during Comic Con. They're doing Crazy for You by Gershwin, so maybe I'll put in for that. Their plays are Grapes of Wrath (ugh), Importance of Being Earnest (only thing I actually want to be in), and A Song for My Father.
So. I'm a little bit meh right now.

At what point does it become pathetic to write a fanfic. I think I've recieved one piece of fanfic on my Dean/OFC fic in the last four chapters, but that's the fic I can't stop writing. For some reason, even if no one is reading it, that's the fic that makes me the happiest to write. And it's not even my best! Accidental Drag Queen is, I think, probably much better written, but I don't have the compulsion to write it the way I do the Supernatural fic. And I reread that series all the time. I just... really like it.
Is that pathetic?
Also, still sick. I knew I was still off as I was driving to school, but it was too late to call in sick and I had carpool. And then, I got sick in class, so...
Also, it's Hell Week in the play. Tomorrow is company preview. *sigh*
(The sad thing is, I know I will hoard all my energy and rock the stage tonight because I love being on stage and don't want to do anything to hurt my chances of getting cast again, even being sick. I wish I could be an actress professionally, because i love it way more than anything.)

I need new subject lines
May. 12th, 2011 06:53 pmThe casting director at the theater I'm working at right now called me today to ask when I'm getting my braces off. When I called back and said in the next few months (they better be coming off soon) she just said that she hadn't noticed them too much when I was on stage, but she was looking at my picture and started to wonder.
I hope this means she's considering me for something else they haven't cast yet. She did really like me; she said I was very funny and had great timing.
*crosses fingers*

Dont' know what to do with myself
Apr. 16th, 2011 09:00 amSo, the school I'm doing my play through is on spring break, which means no rehearsal for 10 days (eek! Then we go into tech week). I have nothing to do this weekend, and it feels weird. Kind of depressing.
Not that I can't use the time off. This week was jam pack. I almost literally didn't get to relax until Thursday, and that was just for fifteen minutes. Yesterday, I got longer, but even still. The problem was I do yearbook at school and the other adviser and I got behind (waaay behind; it was due Monday, and we were still sending kids to take pictures), so I kept having to stay after until almost six to work on it, then rush off to eat dinner and get to rehearsal (it's a half hour drive from work to home.) Plus, I'm on my period this week, so I was all "rawr!" And it's only 4 more days until the state tests (and I had to give two on Friday).
So... it was a stressful week. But it was fun. I need to find another play to do when this is done.

What, I don't even...
Apr. 9th, 2011 05:33 pmSo, at rehearsals, I've been talking, kind of flirting with this guy. Today, one of the other girls showed she was wearing Beauty and the Beast socks, and I mention I almost bought Disney Princess soup today.
He laughed. Asked how old I am. Then, upon hearing my age (an ancient 32) cracked up saying, "I love it when adults act immature."

The play! The play!
Apr. 6th, 2011 09:22 pmI am so loving being in a play. I love going to rehersal. Most of the time I just sit there since I have the second smallest part in the play (there's no small parts, Sera!), and I hardly talk to anyone because most of the play is teenagers (well, young adults) and they scare me, but I LOVE this.
I'm sad that in a month, it'll be over. And I'm pretty sure I missed by chance to be in anything else at this theater (I suppose I could ask, but... I'll get around to it) but it's so much fun.
I want to do more!
