Emptiness

I did an audition tonight
It was a really good audition
I am being considered for a role
In a non-union/non-paying production

It is a prominent show and the role would be good on the resume
but it made me feel empty
I fell into a generation where talents were not recognized
where established individuals were doing entry level work
where a beginner had greater challenges standing out and building

As it goes I was good enough to get my union status
but not good enough to compete when I got them
so my resume still is unrecognized

and here I am fighting to get permission from the union
to do a non union show
so my resume will grow
and it will cost me time and money away from work to do it

disheartening
