I got it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!! I GOT THE PART!!!!!!!!! I'M GOING TO BE VIOLETTE!!!!!! THE BIRD LADY IN A POODLE WITH GUITAR AND DARK SUNGLASSES!!!!! HERE'S THE MONOLOGUE THAT GOT ME THE PART!!!!!

(Violet is a young woman, 19 - 35, living alone in a small New York City apartment. Jerry is one of her neighbors and has just walked in on her standing atop her desk, pretending to fly.)

JERRY: Where you headed?
VIOLET: South.
JERRY: How come?
VIOLET: It's a migratory thing. You wouldn't understand.
JERRY: But I'm interested. Explain it to me. What gets you going?
VIOLET: Well. You get a feeling. It's hard to explain. You get restless. How it starts, you can't shut up. You chatter compulsively: chatter, chatter, chatter. Everybody else is feeling the same; everybody crowds together, chattering away: "what's happening-what's up-whaddaya wanna do-I dunno-I'm feelin' jumpy-how you feel-hey hey hey hey hey" and the noise of everybody chattering at once gets louder and louder and louder - this part can take days.
JERRY: Sounds nerve-wracking!
VIOLET: Oh, you bet. Next thing, you can't sit still. You start diving off your branch and swooping around and you don't know why. You feel like you're out of control, like there's this huge force that's pulling at you and you don't know what and you don't know where but you can't stay still. It's kind of exciting. You heart's going bip-bip-bip-bip-bip, and you can't think at all; your mind's completely absent, you're just a single focused burning sensation of I gotta move. And you're all feeling it together, you're all diving and swooping and chattering and with every dive and swoop you're getting more in sync, beginning more and more to move as one, drawing together from a ragged cloud of individuals into The Flock and it all comes together on an instant as you dive and instead of returning to the branches the swoop takes you back up and higher, higher, everyone finding their place in the formation - oh, you can't imagine what a feeling that is, to know your place in the formation

AND HERE'S THE SUMMARY OF THE SHOW!!!!

Poodle With Guitar and Dark Glasses Synopsis
Poodle with Guitar and Dark Glasses, written by Liz Duffy Adams in 2001, follows four nights in the lives of five individuals who are striving to rediscover the purpose to their lives. Fuchsia (F) is a romance novelist who has lost control over her novel's main character. Jade (F) is a painter who has lost touch with her creative side. Gray (M) is an ESL teacher for Russians who has lost the ability to communicate. Violet (F) is a girl who has lost her community, her flock. And Jerry (M) is a silent photographer who encourages their actions and records their results over these four nights.
Poodle with Guitar and Dark Glasses is a surreal exploration into the human psyche. Its' characters embrace the desires that many individuals suppress, desires which tend to seem cliche and base in modern American society. Each character tells their story through a series of monologues, until the final scene when the players reach out to one another to get help finding what they have lost. The production runs at just about one hour, and will be preceded by the one-act 'Not I' by Samuel Beckett. It will go up ninth week, and requires three females and two males.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!!! THE READ THROUGH IS THIS SUNDAY!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

In fact, apart from lying in bed and staring at the ceiling, or perhaps self-medicating with alcohol and drugs, you are not functioning at all..
