On a much happier note, at the end of May I auditioned for a musical through one of the area community theater companies. I've done a number of shows over the last 10 years through my church and another church in the area, but I've never auditioned for community theater. I was pretty nervous going into the auditions, and even more so when I got called back. But, the day after call-backs, I got a call from the director letting me know that they were offering me the female lead in the show! Needless to say, I was very excited!!!
The last month has pretty much consisted of rehearsals almost every weeknight, but I don't mind. I love doing this. While I'm nervous about how I'm doing and hoping that I can keep up with the people in the show who are getting degrees in theater, I feel very at home up there. It's kind of tough to describe, but it just feels right. I know I've been giving up a lot of other things so far this summer to do this, but I can't imagine myself being anywhere else.
