I should probably explain a little bit about what happens after an audition. In fiction, when I submit a story I will eventually hear back from a market with either an acceptance or a rejection. With auditions, you only hear back if they want to invite you on to the next level. So the thing […]

It turns out that thinking of this as a callback wasn’t quite accurate. This was really for a different part within the same show, I think, since I was the only woman there who had also been tried on the big horse. The group was multi-ethnic which was really nice to see especially since the

I’ve just had the audition and frankly have no idea how I did. But I had fun. They had Topthorn here, the black horse. He is a gorgeous, gorgeous puppet that just wants to do the work if you don’t fight him. We spent most of the time just trying to walk. Walking is a
So, I have my audition slot. June 17th next week from 2:30-5:30. There will be eight other people in my slot and they are calling it a workshop. This means I can make some guesses about the format, although they are just guesses at this point. I know that one of the horses will be

I was talking with one of my theater friends the other day and told him about this very cool audition I have lined up.

I need to update it, since it has none of my Lazytown work on it, but, at least it’s online now.
I have a mild cold that I picked up from the germ factories that come aboard the boat to meet the Cinnamon Bear. It’s not bad, just a scratchy throat and fatigue–although I suppose the fatigue comes from other sources. Anyway, we carol as people are boarding. I enjoy this even though I’m scantily dressed

I really thought that I had told everyone what the final result of my audition was, but I just had another person ask me, so evidently I didn’t. Sesame Street cast an in-house puppeteer without going to callbacks, which is pretty much what I expected to happen. Even so, it was a fun ride.

I can’t believe it. Strange Horizons just wrote to say they want to buy Portrait of Ari at pro-rates! I’m beside myself with excitement–really, it takes two of me to express my joy fully. Here’s the letter. Dear Mary Robinette Kowal, We’re pleased to accept your story “Portrait of Ari” for publication in Strange Horizons,
A lot of you already know about this–and thank you to everyone who sent me a copy of the notice–Sesame Street is having auditions for a new female character. This is extremely rare. I sent my resume in and have been granted an audition spot. Fortunately, it’s in Seattle, so I don’t have to go
