I just got done running lines for my big Washington theatre debut tomorrow.
Which means, of course, a five minute scene in a directing class at the conservatory my theatre runs, directed by one of the students.
It's a relatively big deal though, most of the actors in it are highly trained, mainstage DC performers. Then there's little 'ol me, without a professional credit to my name. I don't even consider myself an actor, in the professional sense.
Did I mention I'm the romantic lead?
No auditions, no process at all. The director just called me up and asked me on 24 hour notice.
Did I also mention this will be watched and judged by the founding artistic director?
Nope, not nervous at all.
In other theatre news, there's a rumor I'm up for the sound board operator position on the next big show at my theatre. A thousand bucks for six weeks (hard) work.
In DC theatre intern terms, that's big money.
In other general news, two things have been sucking up my limited free time: GTA San Andreas, and the new girl.

I perform in some of the Souths finest high school gymnasiums and auction barns in front of handfulls of rednecks and I get Hellaciously nervous just doing that. If I were in your shoes i'd probably puke kittens, lol.
Anywho, best of luck, break a leg and all that.
Peace.
