<p>Well, our first nice result is in. d auditioned for the first play of the season (she's in theatre performance) at OCU and got a callback today for 2 roles. She's very excited. The department head also saw her on campus and complimented her on an excellent audition. Of course, there are several others being called back for the same role so we certainly don't make any assumptions. But for a new freshman to get a callback is pretty exciting, regardless of the final results. She's had a rough time so we are pretty happy for her. Look forward to hearing from others and their successes or frustrations as our kids move forward.</p>
<p>another success. also wanted to post that "kaed" got a part in the first musical of the year at OCU. This is coming second-hand from my d, but i'm sure it is correct. Also, clueless' son got a callback for that show and that was quite an accomplishment as I think only a couple of freshmen got called back. So we're proud of him also.</p>
<p>It is true about Kaed being cast in Guys and Dolls. I posted on the OCU thread. Also, I heard that Mtpop's S got a callback for Guys and Dolls. I also heard that only 3 or 4 freshmen were cast.</p>
<p>Yes, S did get a callback for G&D - for the lead role of Sky! He was both happy with the callback, and disappointed that he wasn't cast. Welcome to the real world son! lol His roommate (also a freshman) was cast as Big Jule (he's 6'9" !!!). S is loving OCU, and is incredibly busy with 16 hours. Next audition is MONDAY.</p>
<p>mtpop, that's so exciting. even if they don't get the part, it still means they were deemed good enough. and how exciting to get called back as a freshman. a friend of my d who is a transfer student also got a part. his name is steven and i think he is "angie," a gangster. and how cool for kaed. i'm really proud of our group. not only were just 3 or 4 freshmen cast, but not many more than that were called back. so quite an accomplishment for them. of course, the time will come for them all.</p>
<p>There were indeed some very tough casting calls for G&D. The quality of the auditions I saw were amazing! Next week.....yet another round of auditions for "Pirates".</p>
<p>Congrats to those who were called back as freshman...what a tremendous accomplishment! And certainly congrats to those who got a part! How nice to hear things are off to such a good start already! :-)</p>
<p>What great news for all you freshmen parents! It IS quite unusual to get callbacks as freshmen - congrats! :)</p>
