There were auditions this afternoon for the first play scheduled in First Pres Theater since the pandemic shut everything down. It was a stretch to think that I might qualify for any of the parts in this play, I'm a little on the old side, but I decided that I would certainly not get a part if I didn't try out. So I did. It was a fun experience. The director, who had directed another play I was in some years ago, seemed genuinely happy to see me and the play is a comedy so it was fun just being on stage and reading the lines. It helped that not too many people turned out today, maybe because it's Fathers Day, so I got several chances to read. The only real problem I can see is that whatever part I might qualify for, there is one scene where I'm required to get down on my knees with everyone else. Now, getting down on my knees is no problem. Gravity helps. But getting up again is not a pretty picture, although it might get a laugh. There is another audition scheduled for Tuesday evening and the director encouraged us all to come back, so I will. We won't know until the end of the week who will be in the cast, but I really do think it would be fun to be in one more play. Fingers crossed.
