Smash
The whole year I knew this was coming. I had no idea what it was about and all I knew was that I wanted to be in a play. So as soon as I ended auditioning for Topsy Turvy and The Scarlet Pimpernel I got ready. And boy was I ready! or I felt like I was ready, so I wasn't nervous. The one thing that stressed me out, was that this kid knew the whole story and I didn't, he was all over it he knew exactly what part he wanted! but it gave me comfort to know I was ready and he wasn't with our auditions When I auditioned I nailed it! The next day we did callbacks, (we were all so good that Miss Ludlow had know idea who to cast!) Again I thought I did pretty good! That was a Friday so I would have to wait all weekend to find out. But the Monday, was also the opening night of Topsy Turvy. So they said they wouldn't have the list up until Topsy Turvy was all over. So Tuesday night, we all were waiting at 10 o clock at night for the cast list was up. She gave it to someone who didn't audition to put up. Then told him to wait five minutes after she left to put it up. When he put it up all I saw was
my name.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE i squealed! That was the part the kid that knew everything wanted and I got it! Another thing to be proud about is that it was only a ten person cast, five women five men. But they also took a men part and turned it into a women part, so six women four men. And I was one of them. i couldn't believe it! Finally this year of disappointment and I got a good part! It was amazing! Another thing was I finally beat him! Cade, He has been my best friend for a long time and as long as i have been acting he has always gotten the parts I wanted, always been praised for it, and always made me more self conscious. And I never hated him for it, because he truly is an amazing actor, BUT so am I. And now I actually felt like it. It was an amazing experience and my some of my favorite people experienced it with me. Jori (She was the lead girl), Diana, Cade, Whitney, Dakota, Eleisha, Shawn (the lead guy), Jessica (director of the whole play), and others! i loved it and it made me more excited for next year. And at the end of it I was talking over my whole Cade, play, self conscious deal with Jori and she has had the same experience with Jessica. But now we both know that the under dogs do rise and we are both amazing and next year will be one heck of a year for us, huh Jori?
