I know I said I would write more but life happens and it happens fast and I had things I ahd to do that took presidence over writing in my stupid blog. (Which I actually don't think is stupid I enjoy it.)
So the Anne Frank cast list was posted this weekend before noon on saturday right on the window on the front doors of our beloved high school. I was at a speech workshop with my group of freshman and so I enlisted my best buddies Leah and Hallie to check the list for me. I went through the first part of the day relatively well until lunch...when "the call" came in from Leah. I didn't get a part. Wait what? I didn't get a part. EXCUSE ME! CAN YOU SPEAK UP!?!? I didn't get a part. I am a fur year senior who has devoted a good peice of her time and life to the theater department. The director knew I wanted this, that I wanted this more than anything. But he cast a junior over me.
I also discussed with my senior theater friends about the decision and even they thought the casting was wrong. I was upset to say the least. I am upset and so with this upsetness ( a new word invented by me) I decided to talk to the source of the problem, Mr. O.
Here's the conversation in a readers digest version:
Kaitlin- "I have never been more disappointed in my entire life"
Mr. O- "You have the right to be dissapointed, I am glad you are venting on me it shows that you care."
Kaitlin- "You don't understand I don't care anymore. You lead kids on and then lie to them about the characters they might have a chance at getting you've done it to me all four years. I don't wanna have to do that anymore."
Mr. O- "You didn't do your best, to tell you the truth you didn't do very well at all."
Kaitlin- " Mr. O do you think it's fair to give two students scripts before the try-outs are even set?"
Mr. O- "I didn't. They came and asked me for the scripts. Did you come and ask me? No. You didn't that is your fault."
Kaitlin- "You gave them the scripts Mr. O. (It was confirmed by the two girls later that they indeed were given the scripts and did not ask for them. Mr. O had told them to "know the characters) Mr. O I can sit here and argue with you all day but I will never be right. You always turn it so you win. But Mr. O you didn't win. Thank you for hearing me out"
Mr. O- "You did the right thing coming to talk to me. I'm sorry I couldn't help you."
So there you go folks. The situation in its prime. I am so mad! I am happy for my friends that got parts but I am not ecstatic at the same time. I celebrate with them in their triumph but I wallow in the disappointment with my fellow "cast offs"
Then comes the question, "Will she try out for the one acts?" I don't know guys. I don't know.
