Happy New Year! Well, Kristi wasn't the only one. I dropped the ball too--off a steep cliff--into a mile deep canyon. But as a New Year's resolution I promise to be better (or atleast try) at keeping this blog afloat.
I left you hanging after that last audition-I got it! I performed my Cow monologue again, and this time with more confidence and success. I do believe KK would be proud (I did my KK homework after all). I also sang...did you guess it?..."Keys" from Passing Strange by STEW. If you haven't listened to this autobiographical, small cast rock musical, you have an assignment. Listen. Look it up on PBS (they filmed a performance). Just brilliant.
So the audition yielded a part in another rock musical. One about a bat who's half boy, or is it the other way around? Who knows. But I get bitten. Then I die. But not before singing and dancing my little heart out and dressing in drag. I'm excited. The cast and creative crew are awesome, and we start in February.
But on to those pesky monologues. Playwrights-seriously. All of you blossoming young Ionescos, Becketts, Parks, etc. send us your stuff! What about this: we won't video tape our rehearsals--we'll SKYPE WITH YOU!! Live feedback!!
Come on-you know you want to. :)
Also-look for some KK worksheets in the future. Kristi and I are hard at work making some "cheat-sheets" for you "auditionees" that we think might help.
