My audition for A Streetcar Named Desire

The audition went well. I was so very nervous when I walked in; but after we sat around chitchatting for a while I loosened up and had some fun. We started with some warm up games which was good. I felt so much more focused after those.

Then we did some readings. The director asked me to read Eunice 4 times. I would be very satisfied with the role of Eunice. It might be nice to get a smaller role so I don't have the burden of memorizing everything. Although Blanche is the ultimate role in A Streetcar Named Desire, I think I would also make a really good Stella. At the end I got to read some of Stella. I wasn't asked to read for Blanche.

I totally messed up on my monologue. I lost my place in my head and started making up lines to fill in the gaps. I pulled through but it was a bumpy start.

All in all, I was very happy I went. I would love to be involved in any way shape or form, but we'll have to see. The director says he hopes to know if he needs callbacks by Friday and should have things sorted out by Monday. I'll keep you posted.

Update: I got a call back for Saturday.
