I came to NYC for an audition today. It was a bit crazy. Imagine a room of thirty puppeteers, most of whom know each other, and then realize that there are only three parts available. So there was this curious mix of cameraderie and cut-throat craziness. They cut the group after about four hours, and I didn’t make the cut. I’m disappointed, of course, but there were enough outstanding puppeteers in the room that I can’t be hurt about it. I’m delighted that I was on the list at all.
This means the rest of my time here is free! So, I’ll visit with friends, get caught up on some things. Simple things, like, say, sleep.
