I just got back from Ilion Little Theatre, where I auditioned for Prescription: Murder. I have not auditioned for a play since late summer 2023, so it was kind of a big deal for me. After my bad experience on Sunday ( blog post titled “The Real Dangers of VD”), I parked on the street. As I walked up to the door, trying to step in others’ footprints till I got to the shoveled part, I saw a friend scattering sand. Phew!
Check out the raincoat!
Prescription: Murder was the premier of Columbo, who regular readers will recognize as one of my heroes. I think I did a good job in my readings, but there were a lot of talented people there.
The set was from the previous play.
I asked people if they minded if I took pictures for blogging purposes, and they were very gracious about it. Everybody was nice, clapping after each scene was read.
They were plotting!
If I don’t get a part, I hope to work on costumes, props, or backstage. I just love community theatre and hope to become more involved. Like the song says, there’s no people like show people!
Auditions continue tomorrow, Friday Feb. 7, at 6, if any local readers are interested in auditioning. Performance dates are March 28, 29, 30, April 4, 5 and 6, with Friday and Saturday shows at 7:30 p.m., Sundays at 2 p.m.
