I supposed it makes sense. It's got a lot of Shakespeare's top comedy and it's very relevant to today. Just interesting that one of his "lesser" plays is popping up all over lately.
So here is my Dilema. The audition tomorrow looks like a fun and new way of looking at the piece. Pays...woohoo. But it would conflict with another piece i have coming up that is near and dear to me. The piece coming up is not a definite. (But i don't see it not happening)
I just don't know if I should audition in the first place. Both are gambles of course. Now do I audition just to keep my skills sharp? See what happens? Make a decision later? Or do I not and bank on this other piece happening.
Anyone else ever encounter this? I'm sure there are a lot of stories like this. I left a production of Shrew 1/2 way because of a better gig. It was all arranged before hand and we all knew I couldn't do the whole run so we found a replacement. But still. ARG!
I have run into this problem many times, actually. I generally go anyway and make the decision later. But I also have Catholic and Jewish guilt in my blood and I tend to feel it whenever I don't go to an audition. If you have other things to do, I wouldn't go out of your way...If you're going to sit around scratching your ass tomorrow, maybe go. Nothing else, more people will see your adorable face.
