Casting for well known high street chain.

Today mum and I went to Kentish Town for a casting. We got there well early so we went Ito Costa and there was only one table left so we got it. I had the Black Forest hot chocolate it was gorgeous the best one I think. We had sat right next to the other bonnie and Betty girl that was casting too. She is Jen and she is just like me! We got on straight away and we had lots of fun and laughing. 

We had our casting together which was nice had my hair put up and a bit of makeup on then photos and then we came home via McDonald's 😄 

It would be nice if we both get picked, we would have a great time. But who knows what they want. 

This is the second time i've cast for this company. I actually got pencilled last time 😋  

Update- nothing this time. Third time lucky maybe 😀

Theatre - Addams Family & Journey's End

Forgot to mention that I've also been to two theatres recently - Hertford & Queen Mother in Hitchin to see 2 very different performances.

On wed 29 oct mum and me went to see The Addams Family at Hertford Theatre by Mayhem Productions. It was a Musical and really funny. 

When I was little I used to dress as Wednesday Addams for Halloween! 

On Sunday 9 Nov - Remembrance Sunday - we went to a special showing of Journeys End. It was about the First World War and was very very good. The costumes were real and the actors played their parts very well. 

The man that played the Colonel - Ginge Hopkins - works with mum and he was so good, his voice sounded brilliant.

But as it was a Sunday and a long play we had to leave at half time although we read the end of the story the next day together. Actually knowing how mum balled at private peaceful I think she would have cried at this ending too so probably best we left early ha ha 

Here's a picture of the actors in Hitchin 

Lisa Visser Photos & Bugsy Malone

So the photographer I went to was Lisa Visser in Crawley, we had a great ride down their but had a terrible journey back which took nearly 4 hours!!

I enjoyed the shoot and got to wear lots of hats and dresses. 

Whilst we were having lunch mum got a text from a casting if done - which I didn't think had gone well - to say I had been shortlisted! We were very surprised. I have today learned that I wasn't successful but it was nice of them to let us know As many just leave you to wonder. 

I have performed Bugsy Malone - last Friday & Sat matinee. I really enjoyed it this time as I was Louie and had lots of lines :-) everyone had good fun and I miss my little Rare family when we're not performing. The next show is Fame but not auditioning until March so don't know whether to go for it or not. Guess I'll think about it next year.
Here's me as Louie!  And again in the gang at the left hand side.

My photos from Lisa arrived the other day and mum & dad found it really hard to choose. They said if they had all the money they would buy them all but they have to be careful & get only 6 - there were about 60 to choose from and of course I'm gorgeous in all of them so it must be hard to choose ha ha.

Mum asked for Bonnies help and then went with her advice - probably best as she is my agent. 

Here's one of me on Lisa Visser Fine Art Photography Facebook Page



It's been well quiet for me and I do get to thinking sometimes if it's just me but mum says it's not as there aren't many calls for tall 10s and to remember that even getting called to cast is an achievement (although I worry it costs mum money for nothing).

Still I've got some new photos and a lovely video which is funny so that might help. I'm reading lots at home and am in rehearsals for Young Thespians and I keep getting more & more lines for that too. I'm very happy 😄
