To Be Young and Talented

[madrobins]

Avocado went in for call-backs for the school musical, Aladdin (the Disney version) yesterday. She'd been asked to read for four of the principal roles: Jasmine, Jafar, the Genie, and Aladdin, plus Iago (the Gilbert-Gottfried parrot). Her teacher/director clearly wants her to do something. A would like to be Jasmine--she played a male role in Midsummer Night's Dream last year--but when it comes down to it, she also wants to be in the show. So we wait until Monday to find out what she'll be doing.

That rehearsals will knock her therapy appointment into a cocked hat is an issue yet to be entirely addressed. Nothing is ever simple.
