Decisions, decisions

Submitted by dbcollies on Tue, 2005-12-06 10:29

I've got a decision to make, and I need to make it quicky.
I went with Rahel to auditions for "The Importance of Being Earnest" by Oscar Wilde at BLT. I had no intention of auditioning myself, because I was planning on being out of town the last weekend for a trip with Wendy. But, of course, Gordon ignored that and cast me anyway. So I need to decide if I'm going to accept the part or not.
In favor of the part:

  • I like Oscar Wilde
  • It's the lead (Jack)

But on the other side:

  • I'd be disappointing Wendy, and missing out on spending time with her
  • I'm mad a Gordon for trying to "bully" me into this
  • My "love interest" in the show would be played by ... my daughter, Katie!

So I'm really torn.

Yes, I'm quite aware of that aspect of it. (He went into his "counting damns" joke at auditions - he doesn't understand that it's not the WORDS, it's the ATTITUDE)

But I also don't want to spite the theater just because I have some problems with the director.

I don't see it as spite...I see it as maintaining your mental health.Anne
