the fightin' pickles

yes its been a long time but i dont have Internet at home so yeah.

i had my audition for University of North Carolina School for the Arts last weekend. there mascot is "the Fighting Pickle" and they even have a fight song which is obviously an ironic statement considering that they don have sports teams.

UNCSA is an umbrella school for the University of North Carolina and was the first public arts college. i feared that i would get there and fall absolutely in love with the school and i did. the campus is tiny but just the idea of going to school with all artistic minded people without a nursing major in sight is really tempting . even my mother really liked it and she usually find 1000 problems with everything.

everyone i've talked to insists that its like going to theatre boot camp. which is probably true. i keep thinking that it would be the closest i ever get to attending the high school from Fame.

if i get a rejection letter im going to be heart broken. this tiny school in Winston-Salem, NC has captured my heart and i want to be in an environment that makes me work hard.

positive thought until in get my letter.

Die, vampire die.

sooooooooo





here's the long over due report about how i did at SETC...





godawful.


besides the fact the girl who auditioned two people before me did the same monologue the pianist played my song lte and made me go over time. and one judge really didn't like me. later i found out that his wife was the judge who didn't like me last year. they produce original shows in Pigeon Forge, TN about the life of jesus





so just as a recap, the people who produce this show dont like me

yeah i was pretty upset. i listened to die,vampire die from the title of show soundtrack about 30 times while driving back home. and that helped me get my frustration out.

so whats up now?

Change, thats whats up.

It Sucks to be Me

soooooo

finally finished registering for SETC. Hazah!

i got back into voice lesson boot camp last friday. im considering 2 songs for my 90 second audition- Whats the Use in Wond'rin' from Carousal and My New Philosophy from Your a good Man Charlie Brown. im leaning towards the later because it more up beat and attention grabbing.

last weekend i got to see the touring version of Avenue Q with a friend i had seen it in NY a few years ago and noticed some small changes in the dialogue but all and all pretty enjoyable. it always fun watching the the old folks horror during the puppet sex scene.

i've also set out on a quest to find the shade of lip stick Nora wears in Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist. any ideas?

Life Upon the Wicked Stage*

South Eastern Theatre Conference or SETC -every year that has auditions, tech job interviews, workshops, Grad school auditions for theatres and universities in the (you guessed it) the south east U.S. It is also a chance for college students to get job in professional summer stock theatre.

right now it is about to give me a stroke. i have to get registered by Oct 8th. registration has to be done online and must include performance resume, training info, tech work resume, professor reference, a recent head shot, and more stuff i cant even remember right now. all that is just to audition at the STATE LEVEL. auditioning at the state level requires either 60 seconds of a monologue of 90 seconds of a monologue and a song.

i figure it always better to do a song because the most summer theatres (excluding Shakespeare FESTs) aren't performing Heda Gabbler and SubUrbia. i all wonderfully cheesy musicals.

the last two years i audition i didn't qualify to go past the state audition. i blame it on my lack of auditioning experience. but this year in auditioning in a new state and i feel like i have my A game on. plus bagging before i audition for the school in applying to will hopefully give me some good bragging material when i do my school audition/interviews

so i am saying this now I WILL QUALIFY FOR SETC AND GET AN ACTING JOB FOR THE SUMMER

*note* the title of this update is a song from Show Boat, not a reference to Wicked the musical-which I'm not abig fan of (look it up)

1776

i live in a red state. i hate it. i could vote 10 times and it wouldn't make a difference. my states vote swill go republican. i have watched the community theatre i grew up in be closed down for more "important" things. ugh

question: why do so many theatre kids come from red states?

maybe its a the desire to come bursting singing and dancing out of our conservative surroundings so we can go make politically conscious shows that expose......whatever. so on and so forth.

we want to get into big musical theatre programs hundreds(possibly thousands) of miles away from our home states so we can go on to live the bid,shiny dreams.

*theatre kid sigh*
