HI! :) I hope you liked the random-ness that ensued in the last two days. In today's post I actually have some news to share with you.
I've been accepted into a musical production called "Fish In a Tree" by Three Act Theatre Company here in NYC.
...I don't even. I just. I CAN'T EVEN. Yes, I'm using the most used Internet phrase in 2014 and I don't care.
This is a photograph from our first rehearsal yesterday:
(I'm definitely there - the blonde hair just combines with the wall really well...)
I actually auditioned for it in December of last year. I saw the ad on Facebook of all pages and thought it was an awesome opportunity.
The mission statement really stood out to me - "Everything we do, we believe in creating a better world for the generations that follow. A world that recognizes we are one planet, one consciousness, one human race. We believe in being that change."
The way it's set up is that I, as a student, get to learn from the actors in the company, while being in the production. It did have an academic fee, but for what they're offering, it's not a lot for New York.
I went in for the audition completely nervous - absolutely shaking. It was a 2h process - we had to learn a dance routine, perform it, sing, recite a prepared monologue and do some improv with the script.
When I got the e-mail that I'd been accepted...Imagine this times a hundred:
I'm playing a few small parts, have a few lines and I'm going to try out to be an understudy for a bigger role. Don't know yet :)
The play is REALLY cute - it's a fairytale about princesses, giants, princes, dragons etc. WITH some little twists. The brilliant writers have updated it to include some great comedy and also some tear-jerking moments.
I'll update you on how the rehearsals are going as we go along. Right now, I'm just really happy to be a part of it.
Thank you for reading ;) (One more day to go on the blogathon. I'm feeling that burn.)
