Long road trip today. I got up early to be at the port authority station by 10:30 to catch the 11 a.m. Greyhound to Philadelphia. I had an audition at 4 p.m. at The Arden Theatre for a production of The Pavilion this fall. I believe we've discussed before how much I love long car-trips... the drive to Philadelphia from New York is less than ½ the drive from Philly to Pittsburgh, but it's boring just the same.
I think the audition went well enough. I'm not able to be objective about these things. The call to audition was a great surprise, so I figure, if I feel as though I didn't blow it, the day's a success!
And it was a really nice opportunity to see all my friends at the theater. The audition was chock full of folks I didn't expect! Terry Nolan, the artistic director was there - though I guess I really should have expected him. And Amy Lincoln was there - she's the assistant artistic director. Of course Aaron Posner was there - he's directing, and so was Jesse Bernstein, who I happened to see on the street before the audition. He'd just found out a couple of days before that he'd be assisting Aaron... very cool for him.
I managed to get caught in the rain walking back from the theater to the bus station (sans umbrella!), but the ride back was pretty uneventful, and I managed to get home by nine o'clock.
I guess, all in all, the time was really well invested. The chance to audition for The Pavilion was worth it - and on balance, the time investment was a LOT less than the time investment for the Picasso audition, now that I think about it... that was 12 hours in a car and 1½ hour auditioning.
