So in Davis there's a local drink that Cafe Bernardo calls the Wicky Wacky Woo. I went there with Jessica Herman to celebrate us both being cast in Nest. I started writing about her in my last post and then deleted the paragraph. Throughout the evening of callbacks I coached her. She REALLY wanted the role of Susanna, the servant. She also read for the role that I got, Elizabeth, but she just didn't mesh. She was one of the dressers on Fate & Spinoza, and started to ask me about how to prepare for the Nest auditions during the run of the show. Since I really didn't care about being cast, I was very open with her and tried to get her out of her head.
The guy that I read with last night was cast as my husband and similar to last night he gave me absolutely nothing in tonight's second round of callbacks. Then Jessica told me that his grandmother died yesterday and he flies to Ireland for the funeral on Saturday. Okay, I will give him a little slack for that. I hope that Irina calls him out, just as she did me. If not, I will.
So tomorrow morning I have my first Independent Study meeting with Barbara and I am a little tired from that cocktail. Dude I don't even know what was in it...
So my quarter will be interesting with double rehearsals (Nest and Measure for Measure) and a full schedule of classes -- oh and I started planning my Dada Cabaret...
Buckle your seats, ladies and gents, we are in for quite a ride.
