"I don't think actors should ever expect to get a role,
because the disappointment is too great.
You've got to think of things as an opportunity.
An audition's an opportunity to have an audience."

So I finally heard back about that audition I went on a couple of weeks ago.
And I got it!
I will be playing the role of "Mrs. Coffman" in William Inge's Come Back, Little Sheba as part of the Oberlin Summer Theater Festival's 2014 season this July and August.
It's a supporting role. Not huge. Exactly right-sized for my first foray back to the stage after a year-plus-long layoff.
It's good to be back.
