One of the last things I mentioned was that I was heading to Columbia University for an audition, something having to do with "Death of a Salesman." Well, when I arrived, the director, Ray, handed me a script for the lead, "Willy!" That was good and bad. It was bad because I didn't see myself as "Willy" but good because it's a fantastic part, one of the absolute best on the planet!
After looking over the two pages to present, I performed it once. Ray then apologized for all the things he wanted me to try on the next reading. I took in what I could and off I went again...and he offered me the role on the spot! WOW!
When I got back to my apartment, I checked my email and got one back from a musical I had auditioned for on Sunday and thought I wasn't through. Well, actually, they were considering me for two parts and could I come back again.
In one day, I go from zero to three projects and maybe even a fourth! Unbelievable! Now the sobering thought about all this is it isn't really any money but at least I'm BUSY! I'm particularly juiced about the project at Columbia because of the people involved but each one has excellent possibilities, also for the future.
What is surprising for me is that I got this lucky in less than four weeks! Yahoo!!
