How To Deal With Callback / Cast List Nervousness
I just auditioned for a community theatre's production of Dear Evan Hansen, (first time ever doing community theatre, so I'm a decent bit nervous.)
For the castlist / callbacks in general (those were today, I got called for Jared and feel like I actually did really good) we were told that not everyone was 'at' the callback / that they had people who had tech week conflicts who were in callbacks, but weren't avaliable to come tonight.
This means that there's no actual date for when the castlist is, it'll just come out whenever they get through however many 'tech week people' they've got.
I felt extremely good about my callback, but now on top of being nervous about when the castlist is going to come out, I'm also nervous about if I'm going to get beat out by someone who was just straight not at callbacks. (And I'm not saying that that means they wouldn't deserve it, it just means that I literally cannot/won't see it coming (if it ends up happening).)
Is there anything I can do / any tips you have for dealing with this type of anxiety? And also, is not really having a set date for castlists a common thing for community theatres to do? Thanks!
