acting jokes

It's like our director thought "Waiting for Guffman" was an instructional video.

stupid shit - "the audition"

Thank you for seeing me today, I'll be singing...
I'd just like to take - I know this is frowned on, I'll be brief- just -
this musical means the world to me, it's part of who I am, and I believe, really,
the message, byeond the blood and the cannibalism and the jacobean organ music and the rapes and the burning of live human flesh.. it's all icing -
under all that, is a message of hope and promise - that Sween..
if I may be so bold, that *I*, before succumbing to hopelessness and despair and dying inside,
thus ALLOWING myself to be killed,
before all that I'm truly alive because he believes in his own promise, in his own soul, I affects my will totally on the world because he knows he is beautiful, and he becomes invincible, unkillable, unstoppable, he becomes what he was meant to be, by the strength of his own -
you get it... it's just like it says in the Bible - my favorite book next to the 7 habits of highly effective people,
which really has the same message, both books-
you can do, and BE anything if you refuse to compromise.
So, thanks for hearing that out, I know you're busy, I'll begin...

*deep breath*

Ok, Maestro? *points to accompanist*

music begins.

(singing): Butterfly in the sky...
I can go TWICE as high!
Take a look! It's in a book!
It's a READING RAINBOW!

I can BE ANYTHING...

etc.

Old love likes to nap, and reminisce look up friends, lament the ones who've passed try on new masks it's a special pleasure when the kids call but they usually are busy still it's not all waiting and remembering maybe a tree in the yard needs pruning and maybe you understand better than most what is urgent and what isn't
