guy and dolls
I am doing a play for my school called "guys and Dolls" I really want to try out for the role of Sara (if you know which character is) and she is a lead role. People say I act very good and there a lot of people trying out for the school musical. I am just not that used to not getting a role in a play at all. It happened once and I am making a vow never to not get a role again. And I know thats the way life goes but you know I have a dream and I don't want it to start breaking, especially now, I'm young. Plus my ex-friend is doing the play too and what if I get a role where I have to read dialogue with her? Ya know? Me and my Luck! lol

OMG! we did guys and dolls at my school too! i wasnt in the play, but my best friend was Agatha, and another one of my friends was Adelaide. All i can say is break a leg! Have fun with it though.Show you teacher or whoever you audition for that you can bring down the house. Goodluck!

OK, i'm an actress, I have been acting for about 7 years( I'm 15) One thing I have learned is you don't take your everyday emotions on stage with you, you can't give your all if you are worrying about what your ex friend is thinkings. Second you don't worry about other people, practice, try out for the part you want and go for it. Don't worry about the other people and how good they are, they may not be what the director is looking for. Focus on being Sara, not surfer girl. Don't worry, being an actress, you aren't going to get every role you want and it's ok, it's part of the dream babe.

Well, about your friend/ex friend: you're gonna be ON STAGE playing characters. Forget who it really is, and just see them as another character. If you can, try to look like you're looking at her but really don't look directly at her, like look just over her shoulder or something, it does help you to forget who you're talking to.
Best of luck

I am auditioning for a lead-ish part in a play, too, but my school is doing a production of "Our Day Out" by Willy Russell.
About your problems...
- If you want a role, just go for it. Give the auditions all you've got, and show them that they'd suck without you as the part you want.
- If you have to read dialogue with someone you don't like, disregard your personal feelings. Okay, so you don't like them; they don't like you. But don't let that get in the way of your acting! As long as you & the person in question don't do a rehearsal with just the two of you and nobody else, you should be fine.
Good luck!

Since you are young, you have to remember that if you don't get the part you still have your whole life to get good parts. You shouldn't make a vow to yourself, that you will never not get a lead role again, because you are stting your hope to high and if you don't get the part you will be really disappointed. If there is someone there that they think is better for the part then you have to just accept that. Juts make sure you give it your all, and put all of your heart and talent into it, that way whether or not you get the part, you will still know you did your best and feel good about yourself.

I'd just try out and see what you get, who cares if shes in it with you or something, its not like you have to be-friend her again just because you're acting again
