Let's put on a show!
So, a while back, I auditioned for Wellesley's fall production of "Steppin' Out." I was not cast.
This was a bit of a bummer, because I was really hoping for an opportunity to get better at tap, because it's my weakest dance form. And considering how out of shape I am, that's saying something.
Well, I got a call from the director last night. They need to replace a cast member, and would I be interested?
Hell, yeah. Only of course, now I've got all that travel booked out right up to the weekend just before the show. I sent the director my conflicts to find out what he thought - would it be workable?
Answer: Yes.
So now I'm in a show this fall, in addition to everything else. I went to rehearsal last night and luckily, Rita had ordered a very nice pair of taps for a cast member who, it turns out, doesn't need them. And they're my size. I just need a heel insert because the heels are a little loose. But this means I'll have shoes for Thursday night's dance rehearsal!
Yes, you heard me right: THURSDAY Nights. The nights that I have to get up early the next day. The nights when I'm usually packing to go out of town. The nights when Supernatural is aired! Ack.
Well, I have access to a closed community that posts the episodes after they've aired. I've also got iTunes, and I'm debating whether to purchase the whole season, because frankly, if I get in (as I hope I will) to any shows this spring (there's about 5 I'd love to be involved in), well, it's highly likely that I'll have the Thursday night conflict again. Thursdays are way popular for rehearsals.
So, to aid my decision-making, a Poll:
