Pros and Cons
Well, as you musical people are doing your read-through, I am going to write up two lists of pros and cons. First pros/cons list: the pros and cons of casting someone like me in a musical:

PROS:
I sell ads. Fo' sho'. Lots and lots and lots of ads.
My dad takes pics of shows that I'm in - REALLY GOOD pics. And he'll fork them over for the Rising Star file.
I have some meager ability to act and sing. And I can fake dancing well enough.
I'm a proven senior, having held down a tiny role last year decently well.

CONS:
Four conflicts, three of which are in March, plus one or two other negligible conflicts of 5-10 minutes.

Well, we see how that turned out.

SECOND Pros/Cons list: Pros and cons of NOT being in the show.

PROS:
Can try out for the Talent Show without being persecuted.
Can see the Italian opera with Rabner's classes, assuming it isn't too late to get in on the trip.
Don't have to listen to the mind-numbing candle speeches.
Don't have to MAKE a mind-numbing candle speech.
Can do other after-school activities, like Inner Voices, etc.
More time to study for Jeopardy.
Don't have to be personal witness to any fatalities that may arise from the dance captain feud.
Only have to see this mediocre show once, as opposed to living it for three months.

CONS:
What the hell! I'm a tried and tested senior, and I get passed over twice in my final year?? Not even ensemble! 'Nuff said.

Yeah, so I've been going in a rollercoaster from happy to really bitter with frequent stops at "completely indifferent". These lists are compilations of my thoughts throughout this journey. So yeeeeeeah. What the hell. Seriously. What the hell.
