and i've decided against.
i'd love to work in a more proffesional setting, not that acting through the university doesn't have it's more proffesional moments depending on the show and the director.
my decision is due to several factors.
one is the fact that i simply have no time to prepare: the auditions go up mid week after macbeth, and that show (and the one act i'm in, and the scene i'm helping a buddy of mine with) dominate my life until it's over.
second on the preperation, i have no head-shots off hand and as the applications are due this week, no time to get any.
i can't afford to take the time off of work, so i'm stuck on that front.
the second reason i've decided not to audition is, well simply, my summer was pretty much ate up this last year with being sick.
nearly all of july, and all of august i was out.
i missed a family reunion, and a wedding that i would have rather not missed.
this year i intend to make it to all summer familial activities, i'd also like to do a bit of traveling, if possible.
nothing major, vegas of course, and a jaunt around southern utah perhaps.
i need to have a refreshing summer, and though i love acting, i think by the time april is over, i'll need time away from it for a while.
i'm not so sure doing theatre all summer would be what i need.
with all that said, i'm pretty happy with the decision.
no if i can manage to get through macbeth, and get some writing done on top of it...
i'll be happy.

Winter is just here, how can you think about summer yet?
well I guess mines probably planned for me too!
i wouldn't have thought about summer, if it hadn't been forced upon me to think about. in years past the lyric auditions have been in march or april, this year they are occuring much sooner, so i had to debate. and it wasn't an easy one. i love acting, and to act in a mature enviroment, with mature actors is always nice. (the last two shows have been lacking in the mature actor department). but after weighing what working with the lyric would mean, if by some grace of gods i got cast, to what i'd rather be doing with my summer, i decided against. i'd much rather do some traveling and spending time with friends, writing, and just enjoying the summer nights. while i'm positive i'd have a blast acting, it would mean not much travel, and not much anything else of anything. i don't want that for the entire summer. so being forced to think about it, i've made my decision. and i suppose i have to live with it.
