Willy Wonka Wishes: And a half-hearted response to Itoe...

So, this thing I'm involved in (I loathe it) is providing a drama club a few cities over. They are doing a production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I went to the casting call today, which was dull, and I almost died while I was forced to sing in front of people. I now empathize a bit more with people who fear public speaking, because public singing (singing in general) is my weakness. With acting, there seems to be a thrill before you get on, excitement, maybe a little dread, and anticipation, like a rollercoaster mounting the first hill. With singing, I think the rollercoaster crashed (I only sang a pathetic tidbit of Popular, and the words I had confidently memorized evaporated, deserted me, returned, and refused to organize themselves. But I only had one night to practice...). Anyways, back to my main point.
I only have one desire, one goal, one purpose in existing in this drama club... A wild dream...
I want to be cast as Willy Wonka.
Now, this may seem ludicrous for a female, especially after the singing fiasco (I felt dizzy), but I am reassured by the fact that I Read The Pants Off All The Other Wonka Readers.
Their performance was lackluster; I think I brightened up the role. When I complained that I must have failed, the others assured me that I did great!
The cold reading is always the best part. I do dread being emailed the assigned roles, though, because:
I only read as three characters- Phineas Trout, Willy Wonka, and Grandma Georgina.
If I do not recieve the role of Willy Wonka, I am left in a bad place. I wouldn't mind Phineas Trout so much, but Grandma Georgina seems bad, and I did not even read her well!
I am usually shunted aside in productions. I mean, I am not the best actor, but I want to be in the spotlight. It's just because of my singing thing.
It's Willy Wonka or nothing, folks. It is very probable that I will drop out if I do not recieve a good role. If I somehow, miraculously, get one, then I'm staying. But I only read for those three aforementioned characters, and I don't want to desert this.
Can anyone even envision a female Wonka? The other people who read have the advantage of being male; I just want to be Willy Wonka. He's awesome. In plays, I don't think it matters what gender someone is. I think I remember reading about a time where ALL the actors were male.
All hope is not lost; I have been acknowledged, and I think that the people running it will consider me.
Cross your fingers; pray; and if all fails, please stand by to console me.
Translation: Look out for a future emo rant.
And, about Itoe/Relith's post, I'm sorry. I think that designating someone as 'main' in something could create some hierarchy issues later, so let us not label each other. I don't want feelings of inferiority surfacing.
Please stay with us; I think it's in your best interests.
And pray for me to be Willy Wonka.
