Rats. I'm sorry that it didn't go well. Theater departments are often run on the earned merit system, so novices often are assigned esnsemble/chorus despite superior talent. If she doesn't get cast at all, working backstage with props /costumes/etc will do a lot for her future roles. Hope she gets good news!
Well, the good news is that they don't cut people so she will be in the ensemble. I had my friends in the business talk to her about paying dues (she listens better to professionals than to mom!). I hope she is just reasonably upset and not devasated. And now my mother is again saying that she has too much pressure. GAH. She wanted to do this herself. I mean do you prevent your child from trying for something because she might fail? How the heck is she supposed to learn resilience? Still--I wish that wasn't the lesson to come out of the audtion process. I hope she can still be positive about the play. I just hate for her to be feeling bad.
