Thinking About Harold Auditions

katespencer:

The days when people find out if they made Harold Teams at UCB are always so odd. It’s like the most exciting day for some (!!!!yay you guys!!!!) and a miserable day for others (it’s okay dudes).

It was hard to realize it at the time I auditioned (almost exactly 6 years ago) and didn’t get on a team, but these things are really just a small step in the larger landscape of life, as intense as they seem at the time. After auditioning (pretty sure I did a scene with my now-dear friend John Reynolds) I got a callback, to which one guy showed up drunk. Surely you can imagine the quality of improv that came out of those 25 minutes.

I did all my callback Harold scenes with a guy who was extremely smart and funny - he was supposed to call me the next day if he heard anything, but didn’t because he felt bad when he found out he made the new team (Dillinger) and I did not. Six years later, that guy is my husband. So you know, you just never know what’s going to come from these things.

me: what sucks is, I wanna talk it all out, and the person I’d normally talk it out to is part of it and the other person I’d turn to in that case also is
Adam: yeah, I’ve been wanting to talk about being in it and the person I want to talk to is not
me: :(  :(
Adam: <3
me: <3  <3
