Auditioned for Breaking Legs

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.

A Christmas Carol follow-up

It was very interesting, instructive and, I suppose, fun doing light and sound for the 2006 run of A Christmas Carol at Kudzu Playhouse.

There were lots and sound and light changes. And now for the combinations: Simultaneous light and sound, simultaneous sound with actor (each ghost had a sound for pointing), simultaneous light with actor actions, and several of the more difficult light and sound followed immediate by another sound (I had two Mini disk players), and a few fade sound, queue and play another sound.

As long as I took my time and paid attention I had no problem, but with 120+ changes I never had a perfect night. My hope was to be as transparent to the audience as possible. As long as the audience did not notice, everything was cool. For the most part I was.

On the final night (of any play), Wally and Jeannie hand out a package with a letter, cast photo, VIP passes, etc. In the letter to the Cast and Crew of A Christmas Carol, there was high praise for me: A big thanks goes to Jay for such a great job as our tech. He came in as a novice and finished as a true professional.

Later Life audition

Jeannie, what are you looking for in the supporting male actor. I would think that I am too young looking.
Thanks
Jay

For the couple, it says the man is middle aged. What ever that means, but you know a lot depends on who the female is. And for all the other men the age is very broad. I hope to see you.

So I went to the audition on the second night. There were only 7 of us on the second night (5 female and 2 male) and the other male read the night before. Very small turn out the second night compared to my last audition at Kudzu where about 100 people auditioned over two nights.

Anyway, there are 4 parts in this play, the two main characters and 1 female and 1 male who both play multiple roles. The roles all reference older life within the play. Even though I could help in the reading and interaction, I don’t believe I will get a part.

And, well, tonight is callbacks and I have not received a call. Plays are very sparse this year. I might have to drive to Marietta.
