Pimpernel Audition

For my audition I sang "How Many Tears" from the musical Martin Guierre. Beautiful song. I rocked it!! I had emotion and strength. It was one of the best auditions I have ever had. Everyone complimented me on my song. After my group was done they read a list of people. I was on that list. We then were lead into a different room where the costumers were. Pretty much, you can't fit in the costume, you're not in. So I was cut at that point. I was pretty upset. I've been fighting with my weight my whole life. I was drawn to theater because it took me away from real life. A place I could go and not think about my weight, I'm someone else. So it hurt that the thing that took me away, caused more pain. I don't agree with the way they decided to cast the show, but it's their show. After talking it over with people I feel fine now. I know I have the talent and that's what counts. I don't regret auditioning because it gave the directors and producers another chance to see me sing. I'll keep auditioning and I'll keep on the elliptical. I'm happy with who I am, and that's what's important!!
