I wouldn't have believed you. Let me fill you in. About a month and a half ago, I tried out for a play, since I was in the drama club at my high school. Myself, and a whole bunch of friends auditioned, and that's really the only reason that I did. I was never an acting type, but I wanted to see what it would be like to audition. I auditioned for the part of Allen, in a play called "This is a Test". I didn't get that part. However, I did get the lead role in a play called "Variations of the Death of Trotsky".
So, after a few hurricanes, we finally got to work on the play, and really only had 8 good days to rehearse.
Little did I know, I was the lead in a three person cast, and having this be my very first acting job, I was extremely nervous. It was me (playing Trotsky), Erica (Playing my wife), and my good friend Bryan (playing my Mexican gardener, who kills me, and falls in love with my wife)...by the way, this play is a comedy lol.
So anyway, for the whole play, I had a mountain climbers axe sticking through my head, which was fun lol.
We performed the play October 6th through the 9th, as part of a 4 play show. Since each play was about 30 minutes, we combined 4 short plays into one (and mine was last, giving me plenty of time to get nervous).
So, last night, we did the final curtain call, and then we headed to Donato's pizza for the cast party. Now, We had known that the judges (for the Tampa competition of all Florida schools) had been in the audience for the last performance. What we didn't know was that they were in the audience for all 4 performances!
So, it came to the part where we got to find out who won...
my play was accepted into the best dual monologue category!!!
it was so weird. I never thought I'd win anything having to do with acting.
So anyways, I was just really excited, and I thought I's let you guys know. And I'll let you know how the competition goes too.
Here are a few pics of what my costume was like for the play.
thanks for listening to me babble on and on :lol:
