When she got there, everyone looked at her as if she were an alien. When</span></div><div><span>she said she was there for the audition, instead of being told they were auditioning only</span></div><div><span>Caucasion girls, she was told to fill out an audition sheet and have a seat. When it was </span></div><div><span>asked who in the group was 20 or over, she said she was. Another girl (caucasion) said </span></div><div><span>she was twenty, she was asked to come into the auditioning room; my granddaughter was</span></div><div><span>ignored. She was totally ignored until
she finally got up and left. I am not just upset because she </span></div><div><span>is my granddaughter, I am upset because this behavior is unacceptable in the theater.</span></div><div><span>Common courtesy would have been to tell her what the situation was and there would have</span></div><div><span>been no hurt feelings. It's never right to make someone feel unwanted, especially</span></div><div><span>in the theater; I would hope that this is not the norm for Cleveland theater.</span></div><div></div><div> </div><div>MATTERS OF THE HEART SHOULD ALWAYS BE ABOUT LOVE.</div></div></body></html>
