Auditioned for Breaking Legs on Tuesday night and got a part in Heidi. Just before rehearsal, I asked Jeannie Hinds if they might need me for the second night of auditions just in case they might need an extra voice. Jeannie said yes.
So after rehearsal, I went to the auditions again. You know they more they see you, hopefully gives you a better chance at a part. This give you an opportunity to improve upon what you did the night before.
It also gave the opportunity to see all the potentials and how you might size up against the competitions.
At the end of the night, Jeannie – who is directing Breaking Legs – said there would be no call backs and that she would let us know by Friday if we got a part. This was a change from Wednesday night where there might have been callbacks on Thursday with notice by Monday.
Chances are good.

Essentially a morality play, Quiet in the Land is a finely drawn portrait of an Old-Order Amish community held together and yet set apart by its strict beliefs and traditions. When a non-Amish friend is wounded in the war, Yock must decide if he will reject his heritage, his family, his community, and even the girl he loves, in order to enlist in the army and defend his country. Infused with warmth and wonderful characters, this play explores the great human dilemma of how to understand the meaning and demands of love and faith in a world torn apart by hatred.
