My Syllabi Are DONE
By which I mean I am taking them to the various departmental administrative assistants for photocopying so I can pass them out in class on (gulp) Monday.
Which is a good thing. Because I apparently am auditioning on Saturday. Not only did one director look surprised when we met yesterday evening and I told him I hadn't planned to, he then practically begged me to audition so he can call me back for his show, and then another director who's not even directing this semester called me to tell me to audition and which parts he thought I should specifically prepare for.
So I'm, um, auditioning.
With a brand new monologue.
I'm going to do a piece from Interment, Dave's play, because I'll never, ever get to do it in real life. And before you go telling me to not be all defeatist, you should know that the reason I'll never, ever get to do the play in real life is because it's written for a small actress. That's a big part of the character. The woman who originated the role is about 5'1". I'm 5'8". It's not going to happen. But I can play with the video dating scene, specifically the accidental epipen injection, in an audition.
Thank goodnes I'm an aural learner. Because I've heard that monologue so much it's practically memorized already.
