It is kind of incredible how situations can change. Last week I was stuck at home, worried that I was reaching the end of my time here in London. Although things had been going well - I got my work visa, my first professional job, my first voice gig and a voice agent - auditions were few and far between. I took a long hard look at my finances and had to admit to myself that I couldn't support myself on my savings for too much longer. The big shows had pretty much all finished casting, and I didn't really have anything on the horizon.
Then I got some auditions! As we finally round the bend into the warmer seasons theatre companies have started casting open air and summer touring shows. I had an audition last week for a Shakespeare production based about 2 hours outside of London. And another audition for a touring show doing Shakespeare and Beatrix Potter - a unique combination if you ask me.
And well, to cut a long story short, I got the call this afternoon. I got the job!!! I will be touring 12th Night and the Tale of Peter Rabbit through the end of the summer. This means many things - mostly that my visa will get renewed and I will get to stay in the UK for another year!
Very very excited. Now off to go celebrate!
