Now that my amazement has had time to distill...

I’ve been cast in All In The Timing at T@F. I am still in shock, and beyond elated. When I didn’t land a callback, I was certain it was "thanks but no thanks." What I didn’t know was that director Shayna Ross had already singled me out and cast me without a callback. A week of sulking and despair ended on a reverberating high note.

What’s funny is that the news just kept getting better and better. After Tuesday’s auditions, I pestered roommate Chris (T@F house manager and PA for auditions) until he was near to swatting me with a rolled up newspaper. Honor bound him to stay tight lipped until Thursday night, when he finally said "Call Erika."

I did, and got the astounding news that not only had I been cast, but I’d been cast in the one-act "Philip Glass Buys A Loaf of Bread." This was the play I hadn’t dared even hope for, because it was by far my favorite of the bunch. It’s a fugue piece, written to simulate to music of Philip Glass with voice. As if that weren’t good enough, two of my good friends from R&G were also cast in the same one act, as well as a new girl whose audition impressed me immensely. Provided they all accept the roles, it will be a fantastic cast to be working with.

This opportunity means so much to me, and I can’t even describe how happy and excited I am right now. This is... good. :-)

SEEEEE????!?

Let that be a lesson to all you actors. When the directors say "Just because you haven't been called back doesn't mean you're not cast," they MEAN IT! :+)

Congratulations, Sweetie.

*blush* I sent a glum reply to Erika's "no callback" message. I was sure I wasn't cast. Now I'm bouncing at the prospect of being in "Glass." This is going to be a great show.

Thanks so much! I hope you'll come see it. Or if you're interested in stage crew & stuff, we always need that. :-)

I don't know if I'll have time for that but I will def come see it and to any cool after party you might have so that I can meet you and congradulate you in person.

Can I say "I told you so"? :)

You were great and I think this is going to be an awesome show.

Ditto Ditto to what lillibet said. And because I can tell you now, all your castmates have accepted their roles as well. You all are going to be FANTASTIC.

I am SO happy I got to be the person who offered you the role. Between your reaction and derspatchel's, well, it almost made up for having to send the "sorry, we couldn't cast you" email to others. Almost.

Congratulations. And ditto what kalisti23 said too. You're awesome.

It's weird, because I usually don't allow myself to express hope for things, even if I feel it inside. Most of the time I pretend things don't matter much to me, to hide that vulnerability. But then sometimes good surprises like this come along and... well, it feel good to be happy again.
