I just got offered the role of Young Alfred in Alice By Heart---as well as Understudy for Alfred.
Im unsure whether or not to accept the role--especially since I was mainly gunning for Tabitha (im a girl)
I am honored to be chosen as the understudy for Alfred, im just hesitant to spend a chunk of my summer playing such a small part when..I truly dont have to.
I also dont want to constantly keep turning down smaller roles, as I've already done it twice this year already. It just feels wrong and pretentious to me.
I can't find much on what Young Alfred does in the show. Im assuming he's just a featured part, but..does he sing? Does he have lines? Will the role be worth playing? What exactly does he do within the show? Especially since I just got cast as the lead of a show i was equally as excited for---so for some reason, accepting this role doesn't feel all that worthwhile.
Any thoughts? Am I just disappointed because I had high hopes and should just accept the part? Or should I go with my gut and drop the show like ive already done twice this year? I have 24 hours to decide
