It might be too early to say this, but...

I think I got a solo part in Peter and the Wolf. Casting goes up tomorrow, so I don't know for sure yet, but judging from things I know I'm good at, the people that auditioned, and the number of solos in PATW, I think I nailed. You can never be sure, though, so I'm trying not to get my hopes up.

Peter and the Wolf is a narrated children's ballet about a little boy named Peter who lives with his grandfather. Against his grandfather's warning, he ventures in to the woods one day, even though there is a dangerous wolf in the forest. Along his journey he meets a duck, a bird, a cat, and eventually the wolf (who eats the duck). A party of hunters are chasing the wolf through the forest. Peter ties a rope around the wolf's tail and he is taken to the zoo instead of being killed. If I remember correctly, at the end of some versions of this ballet, the wolf regurgitates the duck (still alive and perfectly fine) and they all live happily ever after.

I'm hoping that I either get Cat or Bird (LOVE both of those variations), but I'll be happy with pretty much anything that isn't like gunshots/hunters corps.

Stay on your toes,
