I'm really getting bugged out about my teacher. He wanted me to do clara but I said no because i did it last year and i'm tired of being type casted all the time. I always get these child roles because my features make me look like i'm twelve, i have a very small nose, chin, high cheek bones, and big eyes (they say i look like a precious moments picture). I asked for another role and i was placed as one of the dolls instead. he keeps making sarcastic remarks though like "if someone would have taken the role offered her we wouldn't have to buy a new costume" and then he looks really ugly at me...was it wrong of me to not take the role? My hubby and mom say that i was being disrespectful and ungrateful and i should go apologize and take the role...i don't thinks its fair to the other students who might do just as well as i did or even better...what do y'all thing? :D

Well, petiteanise, Clara in most productions is a featured role, with some solo dancing as well as acting and being on through the whole show. Seems to me that anyone would be happy to do this role. :D

Let me get this right in my mind: You DON'T want to be the star of the show? :D
