Hey, Fellas! Hope all are well. Had a good long weekend doing pretty much nothing, except that I auditioned for another show. The same theater company that put on "The Sound of Music," that me and the family were recently in, is putting on "Hello Dolly" in July, and I auditioned. The show, "Hello Dolly," goes up less than a month after we'd get back from Disney World, so I don't think the director would want me taking a week off to run down to Florida so close to the opening of the show, so I said I'd be willing to change the dates of the trip
if I got the part I wanted, which is Horace Vandergelder, a supporting character, but I'd say a major supporting character. With 5 performances a week for 4 weeks that's a lot of performances, so I'd only do it if I got the part I want. We were already looking at possibly moving our trip because the because the DW and the DD have been asked by the same theater group to do a one day performance the day we are to leave for Orlando, which means we're going to have to move the trip anyways, be it outright or just shifting it by a day. This theater company is probably considered one of the top community theater groups on the Cape, so for the DW and DD to be asked to do a performance, without auditioning, is a pretty big deal. So....
No brainer This also will make my DD look good when she auditions for "Matilda" later in the year at the same company. As I said, we could shift it by a day, which the DW is willing to do, but only if we get back early enough in the day for her to make a gig later that evening, or move it outright. I'm thinking moving it outright, but we'll see.
