Dealing with the disappointment of not being cast in a TV show with his friends, John focuses on opening night of The Taming Of The Shrew and trying to figure out If he can handle the rocky roads of a career in acting.
It's callback day for John. Ed and Rose will be auditioning too. The possibility for stardom and wealth are so close.
How will they all handle the pressure? Are they looking for someone like John or someone like Bebe?
Installment six is well underway. I hope that I don't make you wait too long.
John's sister, Nancy is not as supportive of Bianca as his mother and Rose, but he's got his call back for the TV show to prepare for and opening night for The Taming of The Shrew is just days away. Lots of possible outcomes to this summer as Bianca begin to unfold.
John's preparation to play the role of Bianca brings him down new, strange roads. His talent earns him an audition for a TV role which forces him to face the great big world as a pretty, young girl.
Continuing to prepare for his role as Bianca in Shakespeare's TAMING OF THE SHREW, John becomes a spirited adolescent girl full time. His mother and friends are extremely supportive, and then some.
Shakespeare's TAMING OF THE SHREW is one of the greatest of The Bard's plays, BUT in these days of female assertion and the 'Me Too' movement, this show about female subservience offers a lot of challenges. A long time actor in a semi-professional Shakespearean troupe finds himself unexpectedly cast in the part of Kate's younger, cuter, more flirtatious sister, Bianca, by a director who wants to challenge her actors and society.
His preparation for the role required him to open doors to parts of himself that he never knew he had!
Walter had built the perfect life for himself. A loving wife and a daughter he could be proud of.
Fulfillment in a job he was good at. Nothing to worry about.
But the world around him is dominated by all-powerful rules and things can go sideways fast.
For Walter, it might mean a new life. One where he has to fight for what he had and for what he doesn't want to become.
