Our directors are so tired after all of that...for real. Their minds are spinning from the amazing talent that we saw last night. Thank you so much for bringing your energy. It felt like we saw something amazing, and then another amazing thing and then another amazing thing. It just did not stop!
But, as always, midnight comes and the magic of the evening was over and the directors had to make some tough choices. And those choices will be revealed for all later tonight when they post the cast list. Before that moment, see some tips our directors have for handling casting.
So...the cast list is posted:
1. More than likely you are going to have one of two reactions: joy or heartbreak. Both are valid and both are important. As you feel these emotions, please be aware of who is around you. They may be dealing with dramatically different emotions and your reaction can set off a chain reaction that may be hard to dig yourself out of.
2. Be realistic. The Directors had to make choices. It is absolutely nothing against the person that you are. There was A LOT of incredible talent last night and choices had to be made. If you were one of the people in the room last night, then you should know just how HARD those decisions were. People were incredible and no one stood out as a clear favorite. It was tough. Don't be so tough on yourself.
3. Do NOT go to social media to blast others. Today, we have more access to each other than ever before and that is a double edged sword. Ms. Cabaniss can remember being in high school and the only "social media" we had was MySpace and blasting each other on there just meant taking someone off your top 8 friends. That was harsh...But, today there are so many other avenues that people can use to hurt each other. It's not worth it. Most of the times, these things are done in anger or reaction and regretted later.
4. Accept this saying: There are no small parts, only small people. This musical is dynamic and energetic and so much fun. If you own who you are, then you won't regret this experience. Sometimes being ensemble or a supporting role can be even more fun than a lead. Not as much pressure and more time to do homework (for real). You can grow in your acting in every single role.
Thank you to all who auditioned. From the bottom of our hearts, we could not be more excited for this process. We hope you are too!
Now, check the rehearsal schedule and we will see EVERYONE on Monday!
Love,
