Let The Butterflies Flutter Away | Solo
Auditions had never really been a thing that made Tessa particularly anxious. Tessa was a natural performer and always had been, dance, gymnastics, cheerleading and school plays had been her thing so she was well seasoned with the auditioning process. There were butterflies, she knew she didn’t have the set of pipes or vocal range that Cadence had, but Tessa never took things too seriously, so even if she didn’t get the part she was after it wasn’t something that would break her. She did Community Theatre for fun, and it was always fun to get the chance to perform with her kid sister, and this time she had even managed to force Ethan out of his tech nerd bubble to audition. Once it was her turn, Tessa shook off the few butterflies fluttering in her belly as she made her way onto the stage, handing off her sheet music to the accompanist before taking her place center stage.
“Hello, I’m Tessa Matthews,” she announced, a bright smile playing on her lips as she looked out, making eye contact with the handsome young director. “I will be auditioning for the roles of Heather Chandler and Veronica Sawyer--and will be singing See I’m Smiling from The Last Five Years, music and lyrics by Jason Robert Brown.” Tessa gave a slight nod to the pianist to signal that she was ready.
When the last note was sung, Tessa once again met the director’s gaze, smiling brightly as she thanked him for his time and consideration--her nose crinkling just so before making her exit. She was confident she would get a part, which one didn’t really matter all that much, but Tessa was definitely looking forward to being a part of the production this summer.
