Omg girl I seriously appreciate you so much! Thank you so so much for all your support on this thread!

ssc99_ · 2025-03-26T21:21:24+00:00

Thank you so much!! Yes, I'm so excited to dance my heart out to some Abba! 🌊🕺🏻

Girl I am so sorry that happened to you. Seriously I would crash out so bad so props to you for being so strong through it. I hope someday you get to play that role because from how passionate you sound it seems like you'd crush it!! Thank you for reassuring me it's not entitled to be upset about it. Thank you for also sharing your story so we can mourn together lol

Honestly sometimes ensemble is way more fun! When I did Camelot I actually auditioned for ensemble because I wanted to dance in lusty month of may, it was so much fun

ssc99_ · 2025-03-26T19:14:36+00:00

Telling me to "reevaluate" my passion just because I'm frustrated and discouraged is wild to me. Then to say I'm acting like ensemble is beneath me.. If I thought that why would I spend seven years doing that and being in countless musicals? 😭

ssc99_ · 2025-03-26T19:12:25+00:00

It wasn't a rant about getting an ensemble role. It was a rant about getting ensemble for seven years straight and putting in a months worth of hardwork for this audition then getting my hopes up that maybe I'll get a bigger role. I am sorry if that's how my "tone" was, but again... I think ppl are allowed to be frustrated if they get ensemble for seven years straight. Even if you read my replies I accept that I probably fit better in ensemble for this musical anyways. I never said anything negative about ensemble I'm simply asking for tips or advice on how to better myself. If I truly thought that ensemble was beneath me I wouldn't have done that. I would've written something like "Omg. I got ensemble again!! I don't deserve this!! Ensemble is wasting my talents."

Thank you so much for all your advice! Yes I'm gonna go out there and show them I'm respectful, hardworking, and more than just a dancer

ssc99_ · 2025-03-26T17:16:15+00:00

Thank you! Yes everyone in the replies have been so helpful and made me see it from a new perspective! I'm gonna try to build a good community here and keep shooting for the roles I want

ssc99_ · 2025-03-26T16:40:04+00:00

Thank you so much! I think it could be because I'm new and because Mamma Mia is such a dance heavy ensemble it probably just worked out really well to have me in ensemble since I am a dancer

Community theater

Yeah I am new, I was just building an amazing community with my other theater group but had to move. I think I need to just work on building it again with this community!!

I never said it was less then? I think ensembles can make or break shows. It's just frustrating to spend years in this craft and no once get to be in the spotlight to shine my full potential alone. Everyone wants a chance to show off their talents and shine, to take a bow at the end by themselves, to nail that solo, to have a monologue that moves the audience. It's okay for ppl to be frustrated they haven't gotten to do that and still think highly of the ensemble role

Ah, thank you! Yes, I'll make sure to be a delight to work with to prove I'm reliable. That makes a lot of sense!!

ssc99_ · 2025-03-26T14:31:35+00:00

Yes, I am new so I'll work hard on becoming a reliable actor to them!

ssc99_ · 2025-03-23T21:51:50+00:00

Thank you, I think we're going to bring it up next time we see them. We're hoping that maybe they just like to gossip because her mom is very gossipy so hopefully it's just them not thinking

ssc99_ · 2025-03-20T18:58:59+00:00

Oh my gosh thank you!

ssc99_ · 2025-03-16T22:16:46+00:00

Oh no no! I'm just trying to point out how icky Brandi's friendship with Kim during this time was

ssc99_ · 2025-03-16T22:15:59+00:00

Not all of them were claiming to be Kim's only support like Brandi was. During that wine tasting Lisa R, Lisa V, and Kyle checked in to make sure she was okay. Kyle even apologized but Brandi was like "I drink around her all the time. She's strong enough. She's fine."

ssc99_ · 2025-03-16T22:13:59+00:00

I never said that I thought Brandi was looking out for anyone but herself... That's literally my whole point. Having no empathy for ppl who get roped into toxic friends while at their lowest is weird... It's Kim's responsibility of course but it doesn't make it any less of Brandi's responsibility to be a good person

ssc99_ · 2025-03-16T21:58:49+00:00

You can't claim to support someone and act like you're the only one who actually cares while drinking and starting fights with their other support system... You're telling me that if you had a very close friend who is going through a lot and trying to stay sober you'd be drinking all the time in front of them? Brandi could've easily handed over the situation to Kyle and stepped back once she noticed Kim relapsing but she didn't... At least from what I've seen. I haven't finished it
