"What is a 'term of art'?"

I got the part in Oleanna!!!!!!!!!!!
I found out today as I was walking to my Theatre and Cultural Politics reading group- I got a message from the director, James, telling me that he would like me to play Carol for him.

I just got back from the read-through and the play is more intense than I remembered it...about a year ago when I first read it before my second BFA audition.
It really is brilliant- for those of you who haven't read/seen it I encourage you to read it or I think there's a film of it with William H. Macy (who originated the role I believe).
It's by David Mamet (Mom, Dad).
The title of this entry is actually my first line.

So the voice coach they're bringing in is a professional (with a James Bond ring back tone, apparently) and the director is thinking of giving the professor a northern accent and Carol a southern one so the British audience will be able to discern their class differences.

Now that I think about it, I find it quite fitting for Carol. Not to generalize southerners in any way but I think the accent would definitely bring out her naivety and her manipulative nature that becomes apparent in the later acts.

So, yeah I'm really excited!
And it's gonna be in a newly renovated black box theatre in central Birmingham, I'm gonna have my own dressing room...oh my god I'm just giddy.

And the guy playing John, the Professor, is this really nice and handsome guy (half French actually- G. U. Y. and Auntie M) and I'm so psyched he got it- of the guys I read with he was by far the best.

On another random note: I know what my hair looks like straightened at the length it is now.
I was just dreading it was gonna come out all mullet-esque, but it's not that bad actually.



It actually kinda reminds me of Jodie Foster's hair in The Brave One (a movie I still need to see).
Here are some pictures to prove my point:



Eh? Eh? Ya see it?

Well that's all for now.
I'm going out for my first clubbing experience at this place called VodBull with Zarah and her flatmates...I should be seeing some of my block mates there as well.
I'll post pictures when I get them...if I take them.
