Audition grief

Let’s inch our way into the subject of loss. Rejection is a loss. Wanting so badly to be cast in a production that you know the album by heart, you recite every joke, line on cue, and slay the choreography in your bathroom can be quite devastating. There no way you can ask yourself to invest everything you have into your craft, get rejected,  and not feel that pain. That loss.
