Dramatis interruptus
I was soaking in the tub this evening when I heard my cell phone ringing downstairs. I dripped my way down to the living room, thinking it might be Charlie Winton calling; it was.
As regular readers may recall, I tried out on Sunday for a production of Shakespeare In Hollywood. The session on Sunday was poorly-attended; there was to be another session on Monday, but I had to miss that one for a Mountain T.O.P. board meeting.
I hadn’t heard anything since that time and wondered what was going on. I didn’t have Charlie’s contact information (he’s the director), so I e-mailed someone whose address I did have today asking what was going on.
Well, it turns out that there’s been a schedule conflict. Charlie already felt that the rehearsal schedule for the play was too short, and now there’s been a problem obtaining the playbooks. The play will still be produced at some point, but at this moment we don’t know when — November, January or February being possibilities. Charlie doesn’t want to tie down the casting until he has production dates, because obviously there’s a possibility that the dates could affect who is available. He did tell me I did well at the audition, and I feel like I’ll get some sort of interesting part, but for the moment we’re all in limbo.
I’m sort of relieved; I’m looking forward to doing the play, but this has been a really ridiculous work week, both in terms of workload and personal stress, and I was dreading going right into rehearsal next week.
