The Ever After

Okay, so, we all know, that Junior Highs most likely have some sort of Drama Club- some sort of play. And, let it be heard, I signed up for Drama Club. Little did I know, auditions were more stressful, and open than they were last year, in Middle School. This year, we (being the students who auditioned) stood on stage in groups, and read through part of the script. Then...the scary part. Each auditioner (haha, my word) was to stand on the auditorium stage and actually, finally, AUDITION for the part he/she wanted. Me? I decided to audition for Mama in Man of the House.

My friends commented on my performance as "Great, you did awesome!" and "I'm sure you'll get the part!" But, to my misfortune, I wasn't cast as "Mama". Nor was to be in "Man of the House". I looked the cast list over *sigh*. My name was nowhere to be found. But, next to the results for was yet another Cast List- for a play called The Ever After. I scanned, scanned as far as the eye could see. And my finger stopped. My name. I found it. The words next to my name, read...Evil Queen. Whoa. I blinked, and read it over again. Yep, there it was. "Madison" was next to "Evil Queen".

But, no matter what my part, no matter in what play, I am blessed that I get to be part of the stage performance. Some of my friends have smaller parts than I do, and I am constantly told to be an optimist, not a pessimist. So, with that being said, I got my script, and I read it over. I smiled. This. Would. Be. FUN.
