I auditioned for another play tonight. Actually this was the second night of auditions and I went both nights. Yesterday I got to read several times since not too many people showed up. Tonight there were more people there so I didn't get as many times on stage but I did get to read for the two parts I'm most interested in. Win or loose, I do enjoy auditions. It's fun to see how other people read the parts. This particular play "Sylvia" is about a stray dog rescued by a kindhearted man whose wife really, really doesn't want this dog. The dog is played by a woman, not running around on all fours but saying the kind of things you may have imagined your pet saying to you from time to time. Admit it, we've all had pets we felt we could communicate with. At the end of tonight's audition, the director assured us that he understands how hard it is to wait to hear if you've been cast in a part and that he would get back to us by next Monday. I know that's reasonable, but a week feels like a long time to wait. On the other hand, I'm perfectly happy to wait if I'm not going to get a part. It's like buying a lottery ticket. Until they announce those numbers you can keep dreaming.
