Alwaysamom and MichaelNKat, thanks for replying. The reality is that there will be plenty of selective “fly in, audition the next day” adventures for us and I’ve decided not to overthink that philosophy. Minimizing school days missed is a priority. An expensive priority but a priority. Doing otherwise would trade off important commitments that have nothing to do with theatre and that is not the kind of MT candidate that my daughter is. Which is why I think some school that subscribes to that philosophy will be interested in her and others will not. It’s all good.

But today was a good day where I recaptured my zen and want to share this. After a couple of calls to the schools she most cares about, I realized it is still EARLY in the process for most schools. There are still plenty of audition dates available and also many schools that will work with you to help you fit what you need in as a one off if you do everything right but have logistical challenges. Point being, keep at it but no need to panic as of 10/3… nor 10/15. And probably not for a month beyond that either.

Inner zen restored. :-)
