Letting Go of Tzeitel

Sadness - I liked being the lead of a show - I enjoyed being a leading lady - and now - I'm not. I"m just an unemployed something or other. Wish I had something amazing and fun lined up. Ah well - I'm sure the universe will put something exciting in my way. I wonder what it will be...

In some ways I'm relieved and in many ways I want to cry and in many ways I'm just happy and proud of a job well done. And of course confused...very very confused - about whether I should call CAP21 up and say JUST KIDDING I DO WANT TO DO THE PROGRAM! I DO WANT TO SPEND $5000 because I DO have a future in performing. Put me in front of those casting directors! Get me work! Or if I want to continue doing whatever it is that I'm doing and hope something incredible will come of it. I wish I had some way of interrogating the universe, knowing what I should do, and what path each adventure would take me down so I could choose. Eeeesh --- $5000.

It's also hard because everyone flatters you when you are in my position - the lead of a musical --- everyone in the cast and creative team panders to you which is FABULOUS and your friends all tell you how ridiculously talented you are - and I don't know whether to believe them or not. If I am as talented as they said - then $5000 is a totally worthwhile investment - get me on the bway stage - but it's all being flattered - well - I do't know - I'm just confused.

I'll miss being a lead - it was fabulous - and fun - and appropriately challenging. I loved it. Now it's time to say goodbye to Tzeitel, and see what else the world has to offer me. HELLLLLO WORLD!:)
