Well guess I am waiting again
I thought the deal was done. That the role had been cast and that it had gone to the other actor but last night I found out it wasn't and it hasn't.
I received a call last night from one of the actresses that auditioned. This is the actress that I use to date.She was called and told that she hadn't been cast and that while he, the director, had made up his mind about that role(he cast the actress who I thought was just amazing) he was still torn on who to cast in the male role. That he loved us both but just didn't know what to do yet.
She also gave me some other insider information, what my mother use to refer to as being "given to her by a little bird". This was that the director had told the other actor when they read together, and he also voiced this during his call to her, that he was a little stiff and formal and had to loosen up. Well I am anything but stiff and formal on stage so that's a plus on my side. Also when she had discussed this with the director of the show that is currently up and running at this theater company, whose cast includes the director of the show I auditioned for plus the actor I read against, that director voiced the opinion that if the they had cast this other actress then they better cast me as the other actor was stiff and formal at times, had a hard time getting rid of it and also would be "blown off the stage by this actresses if he were cast. That was nice to hear when I thought I was already done and had a fork stuck in my ass.
So it seems I am still in the running. Now the goal is to not dwell on it and just let what ever happens happen. That is a lot tougher then I seems. I haven't been this tied up in getting a role in a long time. I thought I was past this but apparently I am not. Well at least I recognize this demon in myself. I just need to make sure I don't make myself too friendly with him and have him visit on a regular basis. I really couldn't handle that everytime I audition.
So today I need to find something to occupy my time. I think doing 6 loasd of laundry and cleaning my apartment should do that just fine.
