Being an Actress is Hard
I went to the casting the local theatre had organised because they are looking for extras for a production next year. But I don't know yet whether I've passed.

In groups of five women, we had to approach the set and costume designer and make him feel as if we confronted him. We were supposed to act as a group and react as one, not as individuals. This turned out to be more difficult than I would have thought. At least in my group, we managed to all start walking with the left foot.

As for the dates of the rehearsals and performances, the set and costume designer and the head of the extras were even more clueless than we applicants. So we now have to wait whether we will be needed in the first place and then find out what the dates are and whether we will have time then.

Does this mean, the members of your group will be in the play all together?
I wish you success and that the dates fit in your schedule!

No, the groups were chosen randomly. To be honest, I'm not quite sure what this walking and confronting the costume designer was all about. If they are looking for specific women, I doubt they'll find them like this.

Thank you. I hope so as well.

Sounds odd but what do I know! My last stage appearance was as the backend of the cow in the PTA panto about fifteen years ago!!

I suppose the problem is that they don't know yet what they are actually planning to do exactly. Perhaps they should have waited a few more weeks until they started looking for extras.

The backend of a cow! That doesn't sound flattering. I hope it was fun.

Sounds like an interesting way to audition. I hope you get the part.
