I've read Napier's book also, great read

But the differences between the competitive scene there and how long you have to spend to get anywhere compared to here is ridiculous.

I'll be done all 4 levels by December and probably on a house team this Fall. Confident thinking, but I seem to be respected enough there to make it in the auditions.

My team has a monthly spot after only being together very shortly and only doing 1 previous show which would NEVER happen in a place like Chicago...I kind of like being able to get in on the ground floor like this in case it ever does get even bigger here.
