"To Kill a Mockingbird"
Well, the time has come to get back on stage again. There's just so much I can do when it comes to finding a job. So, why sit around playing a waiting game -- with all of these non-responsive companies -- when I could be putting the time to better use doing something I enjoy? In this case, acting. So, that said, I will be auditioning for a local stage show tomarrow. "
To Kill a Mockingbird", to be exact.
The local
Sunset Playhouse (a community theatre of some renown around here) is putting on a production of this classic story opening in late October. Should I be cast, rehearsals don't start until early September. However, I'm looking at this as another opportunity to both audition and have fun doing so, as well as a chance to once again "play pretend". I enjoy playing pretend.
I am also looking at this as an effort to get out there and make even more of a name for myself. So far, I've been pretty successful doing so within the art world. Now it's time to step up those efforts in acting. In a way, I've been waiting for some things to fall into place before making more of a concerted leap. But, I suppose there really is truth to the old saying, "Don't put off for tomarrow what you could be doing today."
"Do what you love, the rest [aka, paycheck] will follow."
Yeah, I know, what the heck am I waiting for? If I wait too long, the opportunities will pass me by. Grab them, hold on tight, and enjoy the ride, right? I suppose I just have to do more of that more often. I've been a little lenient on the risk side of things lately. Time to get proactive and step outside of my comfort zone.
We'll see how it goes. Until tomarrow,
-Jon
