Meredith Morrison

It's just like her, it's already there. And every time I entered, I feel like she was always like, yes. Yes. And so I enter and, you know, I'm standing in the doorway waiting for her permission and her acknowledgement. And I was like, Jen, like I got, I got a call back for the musical. And she's like, really? All right, you'll be fine. Don't worry. I'm sure they bring a lot of people back.

It's middle school. You know, I was like. Okay, thanks. Appreciate it. So I read over the script and I found this character. It was the pajama game. And so I found this character. I was like, poopsie. This is who I want to play. She has 15 lines, like enough to be like a part of it. So I might be memorable, but not enough where there's a large amount of responsibility.

So I was like, all right, I'm going for poopsie. She's my girl. She's a good time. That's what I'm going for. So we go to the lead callbacks. And they gave me the script and like, we want you to read for Babe Williams. And I was like, I know that role. She has over 200 lines and she's a part of eight out of the 12 musical numbers, two of which are solos. And I'm like, this is my nightmare.

This is not who I want. I read as Babe and then I go home again, go into my sister's room and she's on her bed. How did it go? And I was like, Jen, I don't know what to do. They had me read for babe. And she's like, who is this babe? And I said, well, she is the lead. She's like, like the lead of the, I was like, yes. And she's like, well, they just do that, Meredith. Okay, Jen.

She's like, no, they'll have you read for these larger characters, but you could end up getting cast for a smaller role. It's fine. Relax. I was like, okay, good. I was like, I want poopsie. She's like, I'm sure you'll be poopsie if you even... It sounds like a perfect role for your first venture into this, you know, because she's a seasoned thespian at 14.
