There's No Business Like Show Business!

About a week ago, I got a call from our Aunt Andrea informing me of an accompanist audition at a local theatre, The Desert Star, in Murray. I called, and they had me come in that very evening. As I filled out the application, performed a few songs, they noticed that I had a degree in musical theatre and experience singing...so, the directors asked if I would sing something and do a read-through with other members of the cast. They said that I was what they were looking for in a particular character- and so, I was just casted in the musical spoof- "Scary Poppins", as Jill. Rehearsals start tonight and the show starts on the 28th of August running through the beginning of November...It should be a fun experience being on stage again!
