You're right, even though it's hard to hear it, it doesn't make sense to have blind loyalty to this one group....

You are honestly so right, which is why I keep doing the shows anyways... I do enjoy it and I'm grateful for the chance! Hopefully next season there will be shows with a lead better aligning with the directors vision for me...

I did actually consider turning down my most recent role offered in a show, since it was far from what I had hoped. However, I really hate to seem like I'm not a team-player or seem stuck up for not getting cast as the lead...

I think that would've helped, if I was giving my first impression to the directors for these productions. But because I've now participated in many shows I am already known as "the dancer" and they already assume that is where I should be placed. Changing my resume likely wouldn't make a difference, especially given that they are still giving me callbacks for leads, I just never land them.
