So this fall at my school (southern connecticut state university) the drama department is putting up the musical Chicago in the fall. I would give away my left arm in order to be in this play, however I am incredibly nervous about auditioning. For one thing I have no idea really what song to sing. Well I have ideas but not one that really jumps out as me as THE one to do.
The other problem being that in order to audition and know that I got the part cause they want me I would have to lie about my schedule, then do something about it to fix it. I am taking night classes three out of seven nights a week, and they run late enough to interfere with night rehearsals. Knowing that I wouldn't need room for field placement work in any teaching courses, I just left space in the morning for work. If I received a major role, I would definitely drop my Spanish class in order to take it.
When I auditioned for their Midsummer production, I thought that I did incredibly well, and did not receive a part in favor of people the drama department already knew. We'll just hope for the best and practice hard. Maybe I'll ask Gerald what he thinks a good song will be.
