On Wednesday, I auditioned for a play here in Boston. The play is 'You Can't Take it With You'. It's one of my favorite plays, films...
I just got an email that I was cast as Mr. DePinna.
I'm ecstatic and kind of blah about it at the same time. I love the show, and didn't really have any character in mind when I auditioned, but I was thinking I'd get cast as one of the younger characters. I got cast playing an eccentric older man. I love character parts, but I'm realizing I can't play characters of a certain age any more.
I'm old.
Can I have my Norma Desmond moment now?
I'm delighted about the play, though. I can't wait to sink my teeth into it.
I really do give myself credit for auditioning at all... I was getting into a stuck kind of funk lately. (You know, depression stuff again...)
Anyways, I thought I'd share.
