Ba-whuh?
So. Uh.

To quickly explain/oversimplify things, I just got "cast" in my first professional show.

To undersimplify: I and the rest of the NU theatre Juniors & Seniors got an e-mail from one of the administrators. Attached was an announcement that a local theatre was looking for college students to act as chorus members in a 10-minute play that's acting as a "curtain riser" to their mainstage (which is called "Dead City". Which... well. Teehee.) There was a number. I called it. The director confirmed that I was available on Sunday for rehearsal and Thursday for performance, and said he'd send me an e-mail with more details. Apparently (I heard this from Quinn, another student who also took up the offer) we're gonna be playing ghosts who haunt the main character. Wooooo.

So ah, yeah. It is completely non-paying and 10 minutes long and I didn't audition, but it is a professional show. In a Chicago theatre.

Um.

WHEE!

Ahhhhh-ha-ha-ha. What a fantastic story! (I am a great fan of interesting show biz stories.) Y'know, for when Year 2039 Zombie Barbara Walters asks to look back on your first professional acting job and such. And certainly a professional show will carry some weight on your resume, chorus member or not. Not bad for a phone call and a coupla days out of your life!

Hope you enjoy your little adventure, looking forward to more stories.



Why, some of your finest work to date has been one-day gigs for which you didn't audition. :p
