Tomorrow (January 27), I will go audition for my first professional production. I’ll be auditioning for the St. Louis Muny’s summer season–specifically The Wizard of Oz and The Music Man (as those are the shows that my summer schedule will allow). Not only is it my first professional audition, it is only my second audition (as an actor) since I was in college and my first since 2004. While I’ve run dozens of auditions in that time, it’s been a long time since I’ve been on the other side of the table. It’s also, of course, been a long time since I’ve acted in a production that I was not either directing or mentoring the director.
I’ll be sure to post about my adventures (and whether I got a part) after they are over…
