My first Union audition for the big Broadway tap dance musical “Stepping Out” directed by Tommy Tune was fated for failure.

Time to tell the tale at “Worst Audition Ever” a night of ridiculous stories about the worst auditions ever. Get it? No? So check out the Website and then snap up your Tickets!

Mortified-Los Angeles
Reading/sharing audio tape, diary and photos
KNYB Radio: In High School I started 9th Grade as “The New Kid” and also “The Really Gay Kid” and at South Tahoe High School that’s a really bad combo so rather than let bullies get the upper hand I ran away, to my room and created the fake empire of KNYB Radio. I spent each day writing dramas, comedies, commercials, news programs and talk shows, cobbled together a make-shift recording studio, cast my sisters and a few neighbors, recorded the shows and then distributed them to strangers church-goer on 90 min. cassettes.
They were terrible.
Tune into Mortified this week and hear a little KNYB, captions are provided.
