A Thespian, I'm Not! (#2...done!)

I finally did it! I worked up the courage (gumption?) to audition for a play. Stage Right Theater was holding an open audition for a dinner theater production called "A Little Piece if Heaven". I was able to squeeze in time to go audition between a crazy work week and a family Christmas party! As I was leaving Chili's to head for the audition, by sweet brother-in-law, Chris Bain, jumped on the band wagon and joined me.

The two of us didn't know what to expect. We actually got to read a scene together (as husband and wife...haha). Then we sat for a very, very, very long time while children's roles were auditioned. We finally decided that our family party was more important, so we left the audition to go "play" real life!

I glad for the opportunity to challenge myself with this audition. I did not get a part...but that was never the goal! I just wanted to "prove" to myself that I could put myself out there. And I did. So, we are calling this one a success. Perhaps I'll leave the acting to the actors and the living up to me!
