The Mouse

Good afternoon kittens! I've been a busy little beaver the past several days. As I was perusing the job postings on Playbill.com I found out that Disney World was holding open auditions on April 16; and, since I'm still unemployed; I decided "what tyhe hell?, I'll go for it. Who knows what might happen." So on Thursday I boarded an Airtran flight for the land of Mickey Mouse. I have to say, it was great landing in Orlando where it was warm and green without the slightest hint of the Ohio spring I left behind.
So on Friday I went to Disney's Animal Kingdom Rehearsal facility for the audition. It was an open cattle call for men that, in my opinion, had a rather low turnout. After waiting for two and a half hours listening to a very annoying Latina girlfromBrooklynwhostudiedtheaterincollegeandwroteherownshowthatwassupposedtobeadramabutwhenitwasreadbyherprofessorsturnedintoacomedyandshewasntworriedaboutthedisneyauditionbecauseshecanstillpassfor17onfilmeventhoughsheisreally23
yes kittens this is how she talked, and it annoyed me to no end. I think she just wanted to hear her own voice. Anyway, after waiting I was finally called back and I had my moment. We were asked to prepare a one minute monologue, so I did Coathanger sculpture from "You're a Good Man Charlie Brown" I finished, and they thanked me for coming out, said I had great comedic timing, but didn't fit anything they were casting for right now. Well that sucks. But, truthfully I'm not surprised. I saw what they were keeping. They were all older, or more colorfully skinned than I was and most were a good deal more fit. So I'm ok with it. They told me to come back, that maybe I would fit something in the future. I'm good with that. I've been on their side of the casting table and understand what it's like. So I'll try again. It was a great experience and one I've definately learned stuff from. Like I need to get my fat but into a decent shape. Because couch potato is not a desirable shape. So that will be a new series for all of you to enjoy. I think if I'm reporting to someone, I'll make a better effort than if I had no accountability at all.
So kittens, you have something new to look forward to. That and a report on the rest of my trip. I was gone all weekend and did have a fantastically slutty time on Friday night in Orlando. I'll tell you all about that later. TTFN!
