So I got a call from Bob, the director of Lady's Not For Burning, Monday evening. He had some bad news: the theatre company had decided to drop the show. Apparently they were just having too much trouble getting the entire show off the ground.
I have to say, I'm really upset by this. I was really looking forward to doing the show; my character was perfect for me, and the [partial] cast was quite cool. I was looking forward to getting to know both Cassie and Valerie a bit better (and, believe it or not, I'm not talking about getting laid!), and I was looking forward to getting back onstage.
I had been keeping this part of the year clear of any commitments so that I could do the show; now I've got nothing scheduled for the next month and a half. :\
They're thinking of just postponing the show until next year; if they do that, then all of us that were cast will get first pick of the roles. That's great, but still, I was looking forward to it now, not then. :)
In the interim, Courtney and Bryan are talking about the five of us (them, me, Cassie, and Valerie) perhaps doing a small show to fill the void; no clue what the show might be, since they haven't talked to Cassie or Valerie yet.
And, of course, I've already gotten asked to work on a show this weekend and next. I can't do it, though; gas prices are just too high. I told the director this, and she said she might be calling me back with an offer to help with the gas money. I love being so damn good at my job. :)
