The Diary of Anne Frank: The Cast

On Monday November 22^nd auditions were held for our spring production, The Diary of Anne Frank. As you can imagine the part of Anne Frank was somewhere on every girls list of parts they wanted. There was a lot of competition and a lot of pressure to make your audition one to be remembered. So who was the lucky girl to be granted the lead of this play? Me. Out of everyone in the class they chose me. When I found out that I had been casted as Anne Frank, I about fell down the stairs when I went to tell my family.  I was so excited. This was a major role to take on and I was lucky enough to be entrusted with this responsibility. Now I’m not trying to brag. I don’t want to come off as boastful. I am just ecstatic and I just have to let it out. God knows I can’t say anything in drama; I would get attacked. I mean think about it, you have a room full of over dramatic teenagers. I mean isn’t that why we all got into drama? We’re dramatic. So yes there is drama in drama class but that’s just how it goes.

So to all those people who didn’t get the part they wanted, get over it. At least you got a part. You can’t change what has already happened. The past is the past. And then to those people who didn’t get a part at all, it’s ok to be upset but don’t be bringing other people down because they got the part that you wanted. It is not their fault that they got picked over you. I know how it feels not to get a part because last play I was in the lighting booth. You just learn to accept it and move on with your life. And trust me you won’t have near as bad of an experience with the lights as I did. At least you won’t have to sit back and watch your boyfriend make out with another girl on stage. But none the less, with every audition there will be rejection. It’s okay to be rejected and be upset as long as you go about it in the right way. Don’t make other feel bad and suffer with you. Eventually everyone will get over this and we will have yet another great production.
