[NEohioPAL]Theatre Question

[Nancy Brooks]

Joe -

It's been my experience that if there are roles that are "officially" 
precast, theatres usually include that information in their audition notice 
- "the role of Phineas J. Whoopie has been cast" or "will be played by 
so-and-so."

I don't see anything wrong with calling a theatre to get audition 
information and asking if all roles will be available, or to indicate on 
your audition sheet that you are only interested in a specific role or 
roles, if that's the case. Being respectful of people's time is just good 
manners and good politics for theatres and actors alike.

Break a leg,
Nancy Brooks
