I would say I’m an established member of the Gilbert and Sullivan Society of Austin’s troupe. Technically, they don’t have a troupe, but I’ve performed in nine or ten of the group’s productions over the past eight years. This summer, I’ll be singing in the chorus of Ruddigore. I get to be a ghost! Actually, the whole thing is kind of disappointing – I tried like I never have to land a principal role in this show. I spent an inordinate amount of time working on my audition song, and read the through the whole script at least five times to prepare for the reading part of the audition. It’s a hard thing to do your personal best and fail. But, there it is. I probably need to start auditioning for other shows (non-G&S shows) and get some more general experience in order to improve my odds of landing roles. If you’re local, come see Ruddigore – The G&SSA site ought to have performance information up soon.
