I need opinions! (I'm too neurotic to think for myself...)

OK. So. I've been obsessing for a while about auditioning for this amdram show where I live. I went to the first 'workshop' thing to learn the music last night and the auditions for the show are on Sunday. I've never worked with this group before but when I got there, there were a lot of people I already knew from other places (My old school, other drama groups, my work) and NONE of them were people I like or have much in common with. I'd love to be in the show but I don't know if I actually want to spend five months working with people who annoy me. I'm worried that I might have been caught up in the excitement of the idea of the show and daydreaming about being the lead and all that kind of stuff without thinking about what it'll really be like (i.e. being in the background all the time and not having much to do). It's being performed at the theatre I work in so if I don't do it I will have to watch it about 5 times.

As well as that, on the same day as the auditions I'm supposed to be at the Funny Festival, which is a day of workshops with all kinds of comedians, which I've already paid for (£40), and which sounds amazing since I'd love to get into comedy later on, but I'd have to skip that to audition.

Reading this back, it probably sounds like I've made up my mind but even though I think I know what the right decision is, I know I'll obsess about this show if I don't do it, even though I'm pretty sure I'll hate it if I do it. (I had a dream last night that I didn't audition for it and I was really annoyed at myself...)

It sounds like you won't enjoy doing the show from day one..and you will then have 5 months of it! I'd go down the comedy route, it's a good feeling making people laugh.

Maybe next time combine the two. Audition for a comedy show! Ask the comedians for advice at the workshops.
