Jen, have you seen this yet? Thought you might enjoy it.
A “candid” photo of a man, Zeddie Little, running a 10k marathon.

A great read that articulates my feelings to the “t.”
About a year ago I auditioned for my dream show. This year, I found out that they’re holding auditions again. A lot has changed in a year, I got an agent, got injured, turned down an international tour, and moved to Los Angeles. Still, when I found out that my dream show was holding auditions, I e-mailed my contact to see if it would be worth it to fly to New York & audition again. It has been six months since I left & I do miss my friends and family there…
Sadly I just got a response from my contact saying, “you’re more than welcome to come. But you’re too short :(” & there you have it folks, I’m too short. If it were something I could change, like my weight or experience level I’d keep hoping, but my height is just out of my hands. It looks like my dream show is going to stay exactly that: a dream. I told my contact that even though I wasn’t right for that particular show I still wanted to keep myself in her, the show’s creator, & the casting director’s mind but she didn’t reciprocate. She just gave me the audition breakdown… I hate to say it, but it looks like NYC doesn’t miss me even in the least bit. Maybe LA life isn’t as bad as it seems.
