I Belong to You Everyday

XI

Author's Note: 

This chapter is really out of nowhere. Everything here is spontaneous. I read someone's comment and they are asking for Tay and New's university background. And this is what I came up with. 

Thank you to LindyTulabing2 for the suggestion.

Enjoy~

CHAPTER 11

THEATRE PRODUCTION AUDITIONS

"Good day everyone!" The President of Theatre Arts Guild greeted us. I am inside the auditorium of Chulakorn University for their annual audition. They are basically looking for a rising star that will top bill in their drama this year.

The production will introduce a new cast member because the story will revolve around a rising artist too who will overcome adversities on his journey to fame.

"I am Anakin Sawongpeerat, the president of theatre arts guild and on behalf of the whole production team, we welcome you to this year's audition." We clapped our hands together. "So, our agenda for today is to find the perfect fit for the character of Moon, an aspiring actor who faced difficulties in life. He will meet someone who will introduce himself as a talent manager and unbeknownst to him, he will just be used to exploit for money. But the stars are going to align to him since he will find himself in a situation where a company will buy his freedom from slavery and introduce him as their next rising star." Quite long introduction for the character but okay.

"Moon's role will be difficult because every emotion should be channeled. We are talking about, sadness, guilt, hopelessness, anger and of course, joy. So, that's why we asked every one of you to bring your own script that will channel at least three of the emotions I said and may the best Moon, wins."

They gave us numbers which indicates the performance order. I got number thirteen, the last to perform. I don't know if it is a good thing or not but at least my performance will be the most recent in the deliberation.

Save the best for last, I guess.

Acting is my major extracurricular activity when I was in high school. For six consecutive years, I joined our school's annual play and for four times, I played the protagonist role.

Of course, they needed to give our seniors the lead role during my first two years because it will be quite awkward if a newcomer like me will snatch the spotlight in a snap. I just took it as an initiation for my glory years for four consecutive years.

I know I was born to be a star.

I got my interest in theatre when I watched Miss Saigon for the first time and for some reasons, I find it captivating to perform in a stage where everyone is literally just looking at you. And the satisfaction of hearing their applause after a performance is like music to my ears.
