Friday night I auditioned for a(nother) production of The Pirates of Penzance, asking for Ruth. Knowing one of the other women going for that role, I didn't really expect to get it. However, when I didn't get called back for the role, I realized I was kind of expecting I would at least get a callback. Not sure why; given how few roles there are for older women, there was bound to be stiff competition, and the woman who auditioned right after me (also going for Ruth) sounded impressive from out in the hallway outside the audition room. It didn't help that I was working against an asthma flare (which had me in Urgent Care that night).
Ah well, Pirates is one of the best for women's chorus. I'll go into it already knowing the music, and not having to worry about memorizing lines will make it easier to design the show as well as be in it.
