I thought some of you might be interested to know how the auditions are going.
Last week was our first of the three weeks of trial run, but I got a little sidetracked in my posting.
We arrived to discover that almost every single other auditioner had been invited back, INCLUDING guy-who-was-on-crack-and-talk/screamed-the-entire-time. In fact, the only auditioner who wasn't there was woman-who-stood-there-with-stunned-expression-on-her-face-and-occasionally-asked-questions-about-what-she-should-do.
So the only person who got cut was incompetent woman. Let me tell you, there were others that could have been cut.
And THEN, last night, guess who showed up?
That's right, incompetent woman.
So, why did they hold that initial audition if they weren't going to cut any people???
It means that there are 12 auditioners, so in 2 hour sessions we only ever get to do 2 or 3 scenes each. And last night, Alex only got to do, like, half a scene! It's crazy!
Alex thought that maybe it was to weed out the obviously offensive people, but still give everyone more of a chance.
If so, then I don't know how they managed to miss guy-on-crack, who last night started his freeze scene as a photographer, and said to the other (male) improver, "Got wood?" And proceeded to go on in this vein while poor other improver stood there kind of stunned and yet trying to change the scene. The impromaniacs finally ended it when guy-on-crack told other improver to go stick his finger in the ass of the woman over there.
Charming.
So, we'll see how it goes. I, at least, got to show my amazing skills at rhyming scene and ABC dubbing. In fact, I was better at the mechanics of ABC dubbing than the regular players in the scene with me, which I'm sure endeared me to them greatly.
Sigh.
