Casting call and author's first art community rejection - by N.L. Belardes

I have been wanting to branch out into theatre, and not really do reviews, but to narrate the experience of a dress rehearsal and a show by describing the chaos, the energy, the adrenaline, the excitement of pulling the big show together in a whirlwind of direction. I had a difficult discussion with a director yesterday. He was curt; he didn't give me a chance to explain myself. I told him I did music reviews but maybe I should have said I was writing a novel... I heard about such excitement about a show opening soon, so I wanted to talk about it. Hell, this isn't Broadway. You'd think that a director in Bakersfield would give me the time of day, study my narrative abilities, and say, "Yes, come and watch the chaos turn into magic! Forever etch into literary marble your great and noble novelist take on theatre in Bakersfield!" I certainly hope the rest of the theatre community is more open than this stuffy director...

In the meantime, Kern Radio listed a casting call in Bakersfield for Big Brother 6 for all you wanna be stars:

CASTING CALL COMES TO BAKERSFIELD: An open casting call for the popular T-V reality show "Big Brother 6" will be held in Bakersfield on Saturday. The event begins at 10 a-m at Nissan of Bakersfield on Pacheco Road in the Bakersfield Automall. Those who wish to audition should have a completed application, two recent photos, along with driver's license.
