Audition Time - Gina Conroy

My boys have two auditions this weekend. Joey (9) wanted to audition for the musical THE WIZ and both he and Chris (12) want to audition for the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.Joey did pretty well in his audition today and though rhythmically challenged he managed to be asked to stay late with a group of dancers. They went through this incredibly fast and difficult dance, and I was in awe at my little guy keeping up with the others. (Guess our hip hop lessons this summer paid off!)

I guess I should be thrilled he’s probably going to be in the show, but a part of me doesn’t want to commit to the rehearsal schedule which involves 4 months of Tuesday nights, Saturday mornings and Sunday afternoons.

Then there’s tomorrow’s audition. What if Joey AND Chris make that one? Then Joey will have to decide and if he chooses THE WIZ, I’ll be carting two kids to two different shows. So, right now I’m not sure what we’re going to do. I just thought it was important they audition so they wouldn’t regret it later.

Now I’m starting to regret it!

Later as a journalist and novelist, I realized words, if used powerfully, have the ability to touch, stir, and reach from the depths of one soul to another.
