It's All in the Timing

So, a first post. Time for the background. I'm a white male, living in San Diego, who has a day job as a tech support/business analyst and spends his evenings as an actor. I'm currently in a production of City of Angels at Patio Playhouse playing Stine. I just went through awards season where I was nominated for most everything I did last season but didn't win anything except for Cast Ensemble for a production of Betrayal I did for POWPac.

I have a BS in Applied Mathematics and an MFA in Musical Theatre. Coming up is an audition for Sherlock Holmes' Excellent Adventure at the Coronado Playhouse. The problem is that work is sending me out of town to conduct a training, leaving on the day of callbacks. The director saw me in Lend Me ashen and asked me to come to auditions, so I really ought to go. Hope that my first audition will be enough to be considered.
