back down and suddenly noticed my heart was racing . The adrenaline was surging strong , and I was thankful there were only a couple more to go in our group . While the next person was going over their music with the accompanist , a woman next to me leaned over and whispered , “ That was fantastic !” It probably meant nothing to her , but her compliment made me feel so tremendously relaxed as I waited for us to be released .
Buckholz told us that as the choreographer was ill , there would be no movement call , so we were free to go . I walked outside across the snow-covered lawn to my car . Ordinarily , leaving an audition , I feel down on myself , frustrated with myself and annoyed with myself for my inability to do better . But , I left feeling positive , knowing that possibly for the first time in my life , my audition went as well as it could ’ ve gone . Now , that doesn ’ t mean I gave a Broadway-worthy audition , but I performed at a level I was proud of . I gave it my best shot in a supportive environment after preparing as much
as I could without overdoing it , and whether or not I get called in for a show , that feeling made the whole experience more than worth it . Interested in auditioning ?
Derby Dinner ’ s next open call is 1 p . m . Aug . 24 and no appointment is necessary . Just show up at the theater at 525 Marriott Drive in Clarksville and have a one-minute monologue memorized and 16 bars of music or one full song prepared ( bring sheet music for the accompanist !).
