<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

Brace yourselves. It\u2019s time for the most stressful week of the year!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

Sunday Night, The Day Before\u00a0Auditions Begin<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

You cry softy in your bed as you notice that it is 3AM and you are still wide awake.<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

Monday, The First Open Call<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

It\u2019s chaos as every student in the theatre department showed up for the first audition day.<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

Monday Night, Before Singing Auditions<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

You practice your 32 Bars in the shower until there\u2019s no hot water left.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

Tuesday, at the Singing Audition<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

The music director cuts you off after the first three notes.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

Tuesday Night<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

Reeling off being cut off by the music director, you vow to kill tomorrow\u2019s dance audition.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

Wednesday, at the Dance Call<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

And then\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/div>

\u2026the choreographer does the most ridiculously hard combination you have ever seen.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

Wednesday\u00a0Night<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

While agonizing over whether you got a callback, you remember that you have 5 tests, 3 papers, and a project due.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

Thursday<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

You discover you made the callback list!\u00a0 But then\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/div>

\u2026the terror of actually going to the callback hits.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

Thursday at the Final Acting Callback<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

In your final moment of glory, you take a big risk that is worthy of a mic drop moment, but the director makes a weird face.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

Thursday\u00a0Night at Home After the Final Callback<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

You obsessively check to see if the cast list is posted.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

Friday at School and the Cast List isn’t Posted Yet<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

It is 2:00 PM and your director STILL HAS NOT POSTED THE CAST LIST.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

Friday\u00a0Night, the List is Finally Posted<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

You scroll passing by all the stuff the director wrote at the top about \u201cEveryone did a good job, blah, blah\u201d to see YOU GOT THE LEAD!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

ALL DAY Saturday<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

Nothing can get you down! THE. END.<\/span><\/p>\n
