The Chance Phone Call

I was going to write a blog about Barack Obama and thrift stores but I got a phone call. A director whom I auditioned for the first week I got here called me. I remember when he auditioned me he did so twice and said he'd call but never did. He called to say that he was casting Merry Wives Of Winsor and they needed another actor for the part of Nym and that if I could get down to the theatre within an hour I could read with the other actors.

I jumped on the first subway there and did my best to encapsulate what he told me he wanted out of the part, even though it has been years since I had read the play and had no idea what I was doing I read like my life depended on it.

And Ladies and gentlemen I got the part! I'm so happy! It's awesome I actually like the role and have somethings I want to do with it. The theatre is actually an Off-Broadway theatre and the director is fairly known. I'm really excited for it.
