The fruits of my labor

So I was on Facebook today and saw that a friend had tagged me in a comment. I go to the comment and what do I see but a publicity poster for Checking Out! It is really cool! I feel like a real live playwright now.

Kind of hard to think right now as I have an audition coming up in about an hour. It's for Company, being done by HDCP. The format of the audition is cool; we have to bring in a monologue and sing a song. I've done MANY auditions where a monologue was required. All my auditions at Michigan, my auditions for grad school, and my auditions for pro theaters here required monologues. This one had to be only 30-60 seconds long. I had a hard time finding one that short. I ended up putting one together from several smaller speeches in Jeffrey. It's a pretty crazy one.

My song is That'll Show Him from Forum. She wanted us to pick a Sondheim song. I've done it for auditions before and I worked with Kelly on it, so I feel pretty good about it. I think I'll go over it a few more times and then go.

I finished the first Act II scene and am into the first SB scene. Nice.
