Casting auditions

This week is the start of my newest student activities committee. I have been in school for almost two full years now and I decided a long time ago that I would try my best to do as many of the activities as possible. This year I have decided to be a part of the students thespians club. It's basically a group of all non-theatre majors who do everything from the acting auditions, to renting the space, and finally to the last curtain close. I have been appointed the director of a play that is totally student written by a couple of girls in the English department. They wrote a screenplay and we are going to adapt it for our setting. I put out an add last week in the student journal, newspaper, and listserv posting dates for theater auditions. I have never been part of a theater production before so I am really excited about the whole thing. I am actually most nervous right now about the auditions because I don't know if I can be cruel if we get a lot of responses and have to reject some people any part in the play at all. I have also never been a part of any acting group so I am really just totally new at all of this. I volunteereed because my friend is quite active in the department and has agreed to help me out along the way. The closest thing I have ever done to acting so far has been my brief stint at modeling. Unfortunately my career ended right as I walked out of the door of my first modeling auditions. I am quite confident though that this experience will be much more satisfying and will go much farther than that. Even if the idea doesn't go as far as I imagine it to, because the screenplay is absolutely brilliant and would also work as a huge budget film, I will be satisfied with my hard work. It can't be nearly as bad as when I tried to take up golfing my first semester. That was a complete disaster. I am not meant to hit anything with a stick with any sort of accuracy.
