monday i held auditions for our upcoming black box production, my adaptation of lynda barry's ONE HUNDRED DEMONS. 42 students auditioned for a 13-member ensemble cast. during auditions i decided to make it a 15-member ensemble cast. after auditions, when i got home, i upped it to 20. from 8 pm until 3:30 am i shuffled the audition sheets, considered the possibilities, juggled the roles, until finally i came up with a workable ensemble. yesterday i posted the results. someone is always going to be let down.
being sleep deprived at school yesterday was interesting. it made things slower. or it made me slower within things. i'm not sure which. i like the way my life is unfolding. i like being able to handle things better, and how i'm not as afraid as i used to be. what was i afraid of? i never wanted to go to school as a kid, or go to parties, or go to events. i always just wanted to stay home with my mom. venturing out of the nest was not a pleasant thought. i faked being sick.
today i am staying home from school. i'm not faking being sick. i am liking my job more and more each day. but i am taking a personal day today, to read and work on ONE HUNDRED DEMONS and watch MARAT/SADE.
yesterday mr. stevens and i talked about what shows we want to do next year. he's thinking about doing a version of bulgakov's HEART OF A DOG, which is exciting. he suggested we do shaw's SAINT JOAN, which i need to read anyway.
