Wildly uncomfortable, but it will get easier, I think, over time. I've changed my life how many times? You just have to keep putting yourself out there until the new becomes your life. No other way.
A friend offered to take me to dinner, so I emailed my choir director to tell him I wouldn't be there, he said, "Happy Birthday." Met my friend downtown, near the theatre, and went after. Glad I did it. Felt kinda' stupid, but...c'est la vie. Kinda' fun to see how it all works though (14/48 festival.) Playwrights just got the theme, and have to have a 10 minute (or less) play by 8 am tomorrow. Meet directors at 9 am, actors at 9:45, musicians at 10. Whole thing goes up for an audience at 8 pm tomorrow night. 7 plays. I don't know how directors and actors are assigned, they hadn't done that by the time I left. I went and tried to take pictures. The scene is warm, but the camera shoots it really cold and greenish. I don't like it.
Started to jump through the hoops that'll get me to the general auditions (fingers crossed.) Sign up starts next week. I joined TPS (still need a head shot and to upload a bio) and I made more specific contact with potential coach. She gave me ideas of where to look for monologues, so I'll start doing that as soon as I finish this. Not a lot of time. Prelim auditions are in February, and if I get in, I'll have to do one of those, so need to have the monologues ready within the next month. I get two minutes, you don't go over.
Here's a picture (best of the bunch):
