Sacramento Audition
Yesterday, I attended an audition for the Sacramento Music Circus. I was hoping to get a job for their summer season as a performer. It is kind of funny how things evolve in your life; I was a teacher and I left teaching to become a performer….like a singer/actress type of person.I used to be a high school choir director.
What I found though, was that I wasn’t quite ready or experienenced or savvy to be a performer..So I became a musical director. I have to say that I found myself being a bit resentful that I wasn’ t able to perform.. So I started writing.. I also started writing because I really liked it and felt that it was the best way for me to express myself.
I wrote songs that would fit my voice. I wrote songs that I understood. Just so I would get a chance to sing…
Anyway, I am bringing this up because I had this audition yesterday in which at some point I may get some work. I guess in the future, Sacramento is building a Cabaret much like the one in Pittsburgh.
I never thought when I quit my job that I would be getting a chance to perform, but in such a way that is specialized…Cabaret work. I think that is the way to go for me. But who knows…once I think I know what I am going to do when I grow up… something changes. But that’s life!
