  • Once More Into The Breach

    I got a callback from Playful for King and I. It's this Sunday. I am still on vacation so this means schlepping 170 miles again for 10-15 minutes of auditioning. My wife thinks I'm nuts. I am of course nuts but I also would love to do the show and there's not a good way I know of to get the part without showing up for the audition. So onward and (hopefully) upward.  I actually haven't seen this show for many years, I should probably get the DVD. All I remember is Yul Brynner's terrible faux accent and deep laugh. I have a deep laugh and my accent is as faux as any man's. In fact, I pity the fool who tries to be more faux.

    In other acting news I saw a casting call for Christmas Carol at Walnut Street Theater. It's non-union but it pays. I think I shall see if I can't do Scrooge yet again this season.
