Ouchie...

It's official.  I've been denied because I'm too old.  That's a tough one to hear the first time, but it has to happen some time, right?  At least it happened in a fantastic show where there are other roles to shoot for.  So tomorrow I hit it hard with a different goal in mind.  That's the great thing about theatre - there's always another direction!
 
On the other hand, Brandon really rocked out his vocal audition for Danny, and I was so proud I was close to tears.  It's tough to root for someone you know will ruin your chances at the part you want (see "too old" above - the boy looked at me like I had three heads when I asked him if he knew who Jackie Gleason was), but it also feels good to pull for someone other than myself for once.
 
Thanks to all my well-wishers today - I love my supportive friends, and that's my happy for today.
