The power went out at 4:45 AM in parts of the East Riverside-Oltorf neighborhood in Austin. Apparently outages to 50,000 customers around Austin are localized, presumably caused by ice.

I think it was 60 years ago, in 1963, when I was five years old, that I saw my first stage musical, Oklahoma! My sister was in the chorus. It returns to that same high school stage later this month.

It had a deep and lasting impact on me.

I am sorry to report the passing of Austin-based casting director Donise L. Hardy, CSA.

Donise began her casting career in California in 1991 & moved to Austin in 1999. She was previously a fashion model, an actor, a baby booker, & a talent agent.

Throughout her career, Donise taught classes in commercial audition technique & published “Acting Career Basics: On-Camera Audition & Industry Tips” in 2016.

My deepest sympathies to all who knew and adored her. ❤️😢

UPDATE: I GOT THE ROLE! (Further details when the company makes it public.)

I really loved the range and the arc of this character I auditioned for. The entire play is wonderful. (I’ll reveal details only if cast.) #Actor #ActorsLife #Theatre #SelfTape #Audition #ActorsOfMastodon #TheatreMastodon

Excellent take — woops!

No, this image is not still loading, I recorded my 2½-minute audition monologue out of focus. I had only one contact lens in and I couldn’t see the tiny screen on my camera from 8 feet away.

I caught it, of course, and fixed it. Moving on to the next one...
