We are currently in the process of packing up and moving out of our house. Hopefully we can put it on the market very soon. Because of this I am not going to some auditions that I want to attend: Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and No Sex Please, We’re British both at the Rosewater Theatre. Life seems to be interfeering with my acting!
Auditioned at the Alliance
Well, I had my audition at the Alliance Theatre yesterday. The Alliance, who one a 2007 Regional Theatre Tony Award. I arrive early, thank goodness, because I was called in almost immediately. There was no way they knew I was there so they must have been ahead of schedule.
I believe I auditioned for Susan Booth, the Artistic Director. Being nervous and all, I missed her name. Shame on me. So she gives my resume the once over and then says I can begin when ready. So I do my two monologues: Inferno and Stewart. When I am finished, I get a “thank you” and I am out. I don’t think I did very well. I will know when I am never contacted for a role.

In a plantation house, a family celebrates the sixty-fifth birthday of Big Daddy, as they sentimentally dub him. The mood is somber, despite the festivities, because a number of evils poison the gaiety: greed, sins of the past and desperate, clawing hopes for the future spar with one another as the knowledge that Big Daddy is dying slowly makes the rounds. Maggie, Big Daddy’s daughter-in-law, wants to give him the news that she’s finally become pregnant by Big Daddy’s favorite son, Brick, but Brick won’t cooperate in Maggie’s plans and prefers to stay in a mild alcoholic haze the entire length of his visit. Maggie has her own interests at heart in wanting to become pregnant, of course, but she also wants to make amends to Brick for an error in judgment that nearly cost her marriage. Swarming around Maggie and Brick are their intrusive, conniving relatives, all eager to see Maggie put in her place and Brick tumbled from his position of most-beloved son. By evening’s end, Maggie’s ingenuity, fortitude and passion will set things right, and Brick’s love for his father, never before expressed, will retrieve him from his path of destruction and return him, helplessly, to Maggie’s loving arms.

Audition at the Alliance
A few weeks ago, I mailed out 30 new headshots with resume to attendees of the 2008 Atlanta Unifieds. I think it is beginning to pay off. I have received invitations to audition for the Marcus Jewish Community Center Theatre and the Alliance Theatre. Both professional theatres and both audition times were for the same day. I elected to go with the general auditions at the Alliance Theatre. I am very excited.
Auditioned for Don’t Dress for Dinner
Auditioned Tuesday night for Don’t Dress for Dinner at Stage Door Players. In the past, every time I auditioned for Robert Egizio in the past, I screwed up. I mean terrible. After a half dozen or so auditions for Robert, this is the only one I can say that I did very well.
