Well, I just got back from my first rehearsal of The Pajama Game. And it's going to be such a fun show. The music is excellent and the people are fun to work with.

But...

Whenever I'm in a show, I end up getting bitter and jealous. I know, I know, it's petty and stupid. I *know* that. And I have a decent enough part- little more than a chorus role, but all the leads are 30 and 40 year old people anyway. :-P

But no matter how much I tell myself that I'm going to enjoy this, that I'm not going to sit through rehearsals wondering why so-and-so got this part and I didn't, I get this awful pit-of-my-stomach feeling and end up not going to rehearsals and eventually dropping out of the show. And I don't want that to happen this year. Especially because I'll never get a bigger part if they think I'm going to quit halfway through.

So I guess I just needed to rant a little- and good wishes for my own humility would be appreciated.
