Today, I auditioned for my school's production of Romeo and Juliet. When they announced that I got the part as Juliet, all the guys auditioning for Romeo suddenly disappeared. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, we had to do a scene from Romeo and Juliet. I was Romeo, and this really pretty girl was Juliet. When she found out she was with me, I heard her say "FML." FML
Today, I auditioned for a part in a play. I've been practicing for months, and was very excited. After I'd finished singing, the director whispered something to the other judges, and they all laughed. Hard. So much for the lead role. FML
Today, my school's theatre decided to produce Les Misérables. I got the part of Éponine. My boyfriend, being a talented performer, could have gotten any part he wanted. However, he only wanted to play the soldier responsible for killing Éponine. FML
Today, my family came to see me in my first acting role in Romeo and Juliet. It all went reasonably well for the first half hour or so, after which my seemingly shitfaced aunt started heckling and saying, "That's what she said" after every line, before eventually being thrown out by security. FML
Today, I was sent the script to a play I'm participating in at school. After reading it a couple of times, I noticed that my part has been forgotten completely. FML
Today, my school's theater production was canceled. Not because of budget, but because my co-star fell in love with me and asked me out. When I pointedly declined, he refused to act alongside me since it was "awkward." Everyone's blaming me for it. FML
Today, I went to see the cast list for the new musical I'm in. I didn't get the part I wanted, and instead I got the part of one of the suitors. Interestingly, they made me the suitor to my ex. And the guy she leaves me for at the end of the musical is the guy she left me for in real life. FML
Today, I had a completely improvised audition for the school play. The director called me and one of the cutest guys auditioning to improvise an intimate scene. Knowing that I'm a complete klutz, I wasn't all that surprised when I tripped over my feet and landed with my face in his crotch. He was. FML
Today, I auditioned for the musical at my school. Before I sang my song, I gave my music to the director. She said "Oh, I love this song!". After I sang it, she told me, "It's okay, I still like the song." FML
Today, I was trying out for a play I really wanted to be in. After my audition, I was feeling really good. She said she would post the cast list tomorrow. Not knowing where she would post it, I asked her. Her reply? "It doesn't matter. You won't be on it anyway." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Maybe you should offer to wear a mask, it's just being considerate.

why would an ugly chick audition for a pretty person job?

@69, how good looking you are isn't usually a factor when it comes to stage acting, because most of the audience is too far away to see your face in detail anyway.

but how could she properly research her part when she looks like a troll? To act a part, it must be something you'd be capable of. Ugly girls don't know HOW to be pretty girls.

Sorry, OP, I'm goingto have to call shenanigans on this one. I've done a lot of theatre, and never, at any school or theatre have I ever encountered, have I seen auditions work that way. Auditions are held, then usually callbacks, and then a cast list is posted, usually physically at the school/location and/or online. Especially at school auditions, they don't audition one character, announce who landed the role, and then move on to the next role. If, somehow, this is true, then I'm sorry this happened because it must be incredibly discouraging, and I hope that whatever their reasons were that they weren't personal. But I just feel like this FML is fake.

They're obviously not set on being actors then, if they make such a big deal about kissing someone. I remember when my then-girlfriend kicked up a massive fuss because I was to kiss my (note: lesbian) friend in a play. It's just a kiss, it's not like it means anything.

you've clearly never been near an ugly person before it almost makes you wanna puke
