Steinbeck and Noises

Well. The Ice House had auditions for Of Mice and Men. I didn't get a part. :( But! COS is having auditions for Grapes of Wrath AND Noises Off. I would LOVE to be in Noises Off! It is a hilarious show! And I can only imagine what fun it would be. Unfortunately the week that Noises Off opens I'll be out of town for a couple of days. The week that a show opens is called tech week. That is the week where you run the show like you're going to run the show. With the lights, sounds, scene changes, costume changes etc. You cannot miss any days during tech week. It's just not done! So that basically takes me out of the running for that... not to mention the director wanted to start rehearsals at 4! Ha! I wish I got of work at 4!

Grapes of Wrath is maybe do-able. I'm going to be here tech week... but the first and second week of rehearsals will be tricky. One week my parents AND Izak will be gone... and another week Izak will be gone. So that means quite possibly I won't have anyone to watch the girls. I was trying to work it out in my head... if I drop Izak off at the airport I could take his truck to rehearsals and whoever I can find to watch the girls can take the girls to cheer practice twice a week... but then I was thinking... I'd have to super plan stuff and have dinners ready for everyone... then what about bath time?? And getting the girls to bed?? The rehearsals would be from 6-9... I can't expect my parents to watch them for a week from 6-9! And just the thought of trying to find someone to pay... and then I was thinking I'd have to pay to be in this show since it's at the college I'd have to pay for the units like $72 or something... and then I was thinking: since it IS at the college does that mean I'd have to buy a parking permit? Coz' everyone knows there's no parking on campus without a permit. I mean yeah, you can risk it and park there and hope you don't get a ticket.... UGH! It just sucks because I'd LOVE to get a chance to work with the director. I've seen the shows that he's directed AND seen him on stage and he's AMAZINGLY talented... sigh. Hopefully some day. It just doesn't look like it will be this day. :( And of course this is all just pre-planned thought out stuff... I could go to auditions and not even get a part and all this worrying and planning would be for nothing. But I have to have at least some kind of back up plan BEFORE I commit to something.

I just can't see it working out. It all seems way too complicated.
