Continuing the Mockingbird Saga...

I found the below email this morning. Apparently, it was sent out pretty late last night. I still don't know what I am going to do. I was offered a place in the "Ensemble", whatever that is. I think it's the extra guys that stand around on stage when they need people.
The rehearsal schedule is pretty intense. It basically is Monday through Friday 7pm to 10 pm for the next four weeks and 7pm to 11pm for the two weeks before the play runs.
That sure is a serious time commitment to just stand around in the play, and it would be difficult to watch someone else play the part that belongs to me.
Right now, the Ensemble part doesn't seem to justify that kind of time away from my family.
Thoughts?
