I didn't Get in...

The Illinois Theatre Association is putting on HairSpray at the next Illinois Theatre Festival. Now, I am Black. I can sing. I can Dance!!! BUT... I apparently can't do it for them. Yes that's correct. I didn't make the cast.

Auditions were held on three different dates. I of course, attended the last date, june 15(that's 15 Juin for all you frenchies). I went and did my best. My audition was near flawless in my eyes until i was told to sing another song. ... Now get this, play it for me once or give me a minute to site read and i can sing every note!!! Throw in the words and I am a disaster. For some reason I can read notes but not words. Especially when they are right under straight sixteenths!!! So, that being my only down fall, I felt good about myself. Until two weeks later when i was still in the dark and hadn't gotten any response back at all!!! So I ended up calling Mrs. Kim White only for her to personally tell me that I didn't make it and that she was going to alert her production team that i didn't receive an Email. "What are you going to have them do... Send me an email." So yes that is my story after two weeks of waiting and then calling by myself!

Thought I may sound mad, I am not. The auditioning experience was good enough for me. Besides, I met some kool people, and I had a great time.
