So, there is an audition at 12 tomorrow. The stage manager who is a friend of mine asked me if I was auditioning because it's a multicultural show and I'm brown, and you have to be some sort of brown to audition. Yes, ..laugh....it's okay..I do. Anyway I've worked with the director before, but as with most non-mainstage auditions this one just jumped up on me and I am not prepared in the least, and I would rather not go then go and perform horridly. Plus, even though it's a little bit of a benefit to be ethnic, I kind of resent that it gets me parts that other people can't audition for. Grrrrr....
So here it is....I'm going to make out the poss and negs to make a decision because it's 11:18 at night and I am not prepared or off book for this event.
Positives
There are 5 parts and the S.M. said that only like 6 people were auditioning. Good odds if its true.
I do have a little bit of an advantage having worked with Von before. He knows me.
I should never pass up any opportunity.Who knows I could get a part.
It's a mainstage.
Negatives
Not prepared, don't even have two 1 minutes chosen or memorized in the least
I resent the multicultural ethnic casting that I'm getting and only getting
I don't want my unpreparedness to reflect on future auditions if I do suck.
I'm busy as hell and have three papers to write in the next two days, and I have mono that flares up at times.
Oh man,...I guess I'll try, but If I can't get off book by then, then I don't think I will audition...

I say audition - any publicity is good publicity, or so they say. I don't think that anyone is going to peg you as a "brown only" actress - getting your name out there will help with future auditions. I love you. Mono blows.
