Okay. I have to prepare

Okay. I have to prepare a four-minute cutting from Orgasmo Adulto Escapes from the Zoo for the audition I have a week from yesterday. Do I want to do an excerpt from:

a) Monologue of a Whore in a Lunatic Asylum - fairly low-key and gritty, discussing her outbursts at work which she doesn’t remember, discussing being molested by her father (which she doesn’t remember), discussing her first sexual experience (and her resulting sore belly button), etc. Possibly a good fit for me because of my ‘edge’ - something I’ve been told by directors since time immemorial. (i.e. Bill Sonnega on why he cast me as Lady Capulet. He felt my ‘edge’ as an actor made me a good fit for his uber-bitchy ice queen. That kind of thing.)

OR

b> It Happens Tomorrow - a woman’s story about being stabbed four times and left for dead in a prison, right before being rescued. Really creepy - but somehow very objective - descriptions of very nearly bleeding to death on the floor. I worry that a lot of people will do this one, but I still really like it. Not as much to go on as far as what this person is actually LIKE, which also offers a lot of creative freedom as far as preparing a fairly long cutting goes.

Strangely enough, these are the only two pieces (out of the seven that are not pre-cast) that I feel suitable to perform. The others require a far more mature (either in age or in persona) woman than I am… yet. If I were to audition for this show again in ten years, I could maybe pull one of them off… but not this week.

I need help. Which piece do you think I should do? Wouldn’t you like to write me a note and tell me? I’m kind of leaning toward the whore piece, but I haven’t made a concrete decision yet. I only have six days left, and I need to get off my ass and do SOMETHING soon. I am running out of time.
