Weekend again

Well. It's the weekend. The BIG weekend for me. This is the weekend I run auditions for the play I'm directing.

You know, it's funny. I'm amazed at how much people will beg for a part and what they are willing to sacrifice.  Could be kind of interesting to find out what I could get out of all of this (hee, hee, hee). But, who am I kidding. I'm too chicken to actually follow up on any of that stuff. I have at least 1 moral left and I'm saving it for a special occasion!

I have a fairly good idea of what types I'm looking to cast anyway. It just a matter of now going through the paces. Making sure that I find the right people with the right commitment. And being that I'm new to the director's chair, this is going to be a very fun learning experience. I've even gone so far as to write up an "audition address" to thank all those who come out.

I think I can officially be labelled a keener and/or a geek now. I'm casting myself in one of the roles. I've been told that I'm the director and I can do anything because it's MY show.

This is something I've been looking forward to for the past several months. I would have already cast the parts and been in rehearsal if it weren't for the fact that 90% of the people have been on holidays.

Basically, I'm really anxious. I'm usually the weirdo behind stage who's pissing everyone off at dress rehearsals with questions like, "Who wants to go for an extra 2 weeks?" Or, "Can't we just open the doors and start now?" Kind of like a kid who goes on a trip with their parents. He/she sits in the back seat and for about 300 miles (which feels more like a million) does nothing but say, "Are we there yet?" and "I have to go to the bathroom."

Is it show time yet?
