In approximately three hours, I will be auditioning for 34 Chicago-area theatre companies, including the Goodman, Steppenwolf and Second City. Using pieces that I have not prepped nearly enough because, well, my focus this week was elsewhere.
I will be wearing a favorite skirt inside out because I like the lining and I don’t have anything that will work with my cowboy boots otherwise, and I MUST wear my daisy boots today. I just need that extra bit of swagger.
I’ll also be wearing a pair of leggings I pulled out of the laundry basket because I meant to wash them and forgot.
Ah, well. It is what it is. I just need to remember that. And also to start from where I am.
Wish me–no, not luck, though I guess some luck wouldn’t go amiss. Wish me confidence and energy and a good memory and honesty and vulnerability and above all, to fit in the 90 second time frame, because right now I’m at about 92.
