Hair Today!

I donned a pair of my favorite bell bottoms and flowed it and showed at a chorus call for "Hair" which was being held this afternoon at The Public Theater. I saw the show this summer, and loved it - so why not try to be in it?

It was a surprisingly small showing of Hair hopefuls (I was only number 47) - possibly due to the fact that the show is already fully cast. I don't know this for sure, mind you. This theory was merely pointed out to me by a fellow-auditioner while I was waiting for my number to be called.

"I don't even know why I'm here," she said. "I mean, they're looking for like ONE other person!"

So not groovy man. I don't like to think about things like that - and neither should she, but also it's also possible that she was just trying to trip me out. I can't say for sure, but I didn't jive with her negative vibe, so I politely excused myself to go refill my water bottle and waited on the other side of the room. Of course, as fate would have it - once I was put into line, she was right along side me. Oh well. I politely chatted with her and some other girls and she seemed to chill out a bit.

My audition went really well today, though. I sang my 16 bars as requested and at the end the Casting Director seemed pleased. "Cool!" she said. How apropos. So we'll see what happens! For now, best to just go with the flow.
