One Song Glory

hey...play season is just around the corner...the hapiest time of the year for me is being wrecked by my chorus teacher, a sophomore, and some very disloyal auditioners,not to mention the man pixking west side story

apparently, harris, rori, and I are unworthy of the parts we want because of our specific idiosyncracies, and the fact that she wants her sophomore, her lackey...to get maria...leaving some perfectly deserving senios out in the cold.

according to ms taskova...harris cant get tony because hes too short for the part (meanwhile hes taller than me, so if i get maria, the part i want, thats not an issue, but knowing my luck...)...my theory is that her pick for maria, liza rivera, happens to be taller than he is...and taskova wont have the untraditional look of a girl taller than a guy...

im not sure why i couldnt get it..im puerto rican, i look ethnic...maybe liza the sophomore simply got there first...whe i asked taskova about casting, and she asked me what i was trying out for...i said maria (prolly with a little more sttitude than i meant to...i really was playing nicely...)...she immeadiately directed me to the next part, anita...which still isnt bad, but annelis is angling for it...she was in pippin two years ago...she already graduated...which isnt right give us a chance...

rori's little review was the worst...which surprised me, taskovas always liked her better. she told taskova she wanted maria, like i did (im so not getting it)...the range is perfect for her, and taskova made a note to tell her this....but then she made it clear to her that rori's extraction will prevent her from getting the part she can do (and actually deserves)...in short? rori's too white to play a just off the plane puerto rican complete with accent (she can do it, too, her brit is pretty good, i can imagine her spanish accent is up to par too)...we were LIVID...

needless to say...we arent too happy...i asked about sheets todaqy too...she didnt say anything at all..not ure what that means...but sheets, ur like the best actor i know, and if you think anything different, u really shouldnt.

rori consulted annelis...annelis agreed...if i were closer to her, id yell at her so much it isnt funny...i know rori and them all are close to her and im kinda not, but DAMN...

well, considering the origin of how west side story is being done in the first place...it was picked as a way todraw in hispanics....please...im hispanic and i hae this show...ive asked other hispanics and they hate this show...

anyhoo...thats it...oh and me and sheets are writing again...we got another book and were planning before we write...

bye

this is our last chance to show what we got....i hope we get to keep it...
