Hey, so I've just found out that the reason I haven't had internet in my room the passed two days is because I don't have free wi-fi! It's an ethernet cable... grr! No one told me that. Or my roommate, for that matter. So, we've been using someone else's in the area and when they are not around... hence, no internet connection. Ugh.
So, anyway... it's been a few days since my last update, and now I will continue.
My Crucible callbacks went well, I think. We shall find out soon enough. However, I have a feeling, simply because I was called back for Tituba and Sarah Goode, it may be a long-shot. If you know the play, Tituba is the "negro slave from Barbados" who supposedly bewitches Abigail and the other girls. Sarah Goode is an imprisoned slave who was also from Barbados. They are both accused of witchcraft. But they are black, for sure, and I am not. Whatever. It was still a good experience. There were a ton of graduate students there for Hale and Elizabeth Proctor, and Proctor, etc. and Tituba/Sarah Goode.
I was paired with a third year graduate actor named Nick who was pretty cool, and very patient with my being a third year (but technically first year because I'm a) transfer actor. He gave me congratulations, though, at being called back at all. "They don't normally call back new girls," he said. I think I know what he meant, but that's what he said. So, we had a scene between Hale and Tituba in which Hale is trying to get names from her after she has just "confessed" that she bewitched the girls and they are speaking of hanging her. I wanted to be crying or something when we went in a read for the parts, but it didn't come out as such. I guess I was a little self-conscious. It still went pretty well though.
We read the scene with each other a few times, waited a bit, walked in, performed, Beth - the director - said "thank you," we said, "thank you," and left. It all happened very quickly.
Cast lists will be posted Tuesday, I'm told.
