Of course, here it is the first day of Holidailies and I'm about to go to sleep without updating. Man, am I ever out of practice!So, a couple of weeks ago Blake said "Have you heard? Dane Cook and Josh Hamilton are doingon Broadway." "They are doingon Broadway? Have the girls been cast yet?" "Not yet." "I've gotta find out who is casting it."I put it up on Facebook, "Anyone know who is casting?" No response. Mary Jane said, "I saw what you said about, what about moving to LA?" "Mary Jane, if I get a Broadway play, I will change my plans!"Yesterday, my friend Madeline posted "I don't know if you know already, but Wojcik Seay is casting "Fat Pig" They're working casting this coming week (at least according to their Facebook). :)" I went to their Facebook page that said that they were casting Helen this week. Helen is the title character. That's my part.Today I sat down to email them a headshot, which meant that I had to go to Kinko's, because my fattest headshot is not one that I had an e-copy of, but found that they don't accept email submissions. On the other hand, the EPA is Thursday! I haven't missed it!An EPA is the Equity Principal Audition, required by Equity for all Equity contract shows, which means that normally they just do them because they have to, not for real casting. In this case, they really are using it to cast Helen. I can tell because it's only four hours long, not eight, which means that it's a serious audition, not just something to burn off. They are having people read sides, not bring a monologue. A five page scene, too, not just a short back and forth. Also, they specifically say that they are casting Helen and Helen's understudy, that there is an offer out to a Jeannie (which means a star, or at least a name) but that they would be having understudy EPAs for Jeannie and both boys soon. This is a real audition. For a Broadway show. That I am perfect for.Here is the casting notice:AVAILABLE ROLE. Caucasian woman, late 20s - mid 30s. TRUE PLUS-SIZED WOMAN ... not just curvy, not just “a little heavy”. You would describe her as “FAT” (as long as she could not hear you say it). Beneath the pounds lives a smart, funny, charming, sexy woman with a true sense of self-worth and pride.How many fat actresses are there in my age range in New York? Maybe four. This is my role. I read the sides. It could have been written for me. They will not be able to get a name for this part, there are no names of this weight, at least not in New York, in LA the role was played by Garcia from, who isn't that fat but I guess was the best they could do in LA. Also, a terrific actress.So. Thursday. I have a shot. I may not be seen, but I cannot imagine that all these fat actresses will suddenly come pouring out of the woodwork. Here's hoping.
