Judah Auditions with Mommy Next Week!


Judah and I will be auditioning for a play together next week! Once I realized Judah might actually be up for it, I tried to make it sound terribly difficult for him, explaining that we're only auditioning, so we may not even land a role, but if he does land one of the roles, he has to memorize lines and deliver the same lines night after night. He would have to spend many nights practicing and many nights on stage acting. He wouldn't get to do what he wanted to do on stage--he would have to listen to the director and obey every command. Even though I went on and an about how he might not be ready for this kind of commitment yet, he responded, "I'm so excited I can hardly stand it!" and he LEAPED out of the van as if we were about to audition right then.

I suppose auditions will give us a good indication of his readiness. I'll keep you posted!

Details for auditions (if you'd like to join us, hint hint):

Oracle Productions will be holding auditions for "Mirror, Mirror," a new play by Scott Crain, on Tuesday and Wednesday evening, May 5th & 6th, from 7-9:30 PM at Lipscomb University's Shamblin Theater, located at 3901 Granny White Pike.
Roles are available for 10 men and 4 women ages 16 and up, and 5 children ages 12 and under. Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. Production dates are July 31 - August 2 & 7-9 at the Shamblin Theater; for more information, call (615) 364-5199, or e-mail the director at scott@oracleproductions.org.

These pictures are a little foreshadowing of what we'll experience if we end up doing this play together! (Hoping to make Daddy feel a little better about it, too.)
