I Hope I Get It

Auditions for the Panto this afternoon. Not sure if it’s because it’s our 50th, or if it’s just the many new members who’ve joined over the past couple of years, but this year we have more people wanting parts than there are parts available. Not every part was up for grabs as there really was only one person who could do the Dame justice. So, in a “poacher turned gamekeeper” scenario, he became part of the audition panel.
Although I initially said I was interested in reading for three roles, in the end I only auditioned for one. Whilst auditions were taking place, the rest of us waited our turn in the main hall. It was actually rather pleasant catching up with people who I hadn’t seen since last year, though there was a teensy bit of wariness between those of us who were going for the same part! No doubt I’ll find out in due course if I’ve been successful.
Not sure what I’ll do if I don’t get a part though…
