Most of my audition experiences have been positive. However, there was a theatre that hired a guest director for a musical because he had done this particular musical before. After three evenings of auditions and callbacks, he used the same cast he had used in his previous production for the principle roles. I don't have a problem with directors using people they've used before, but in this case the director also cast himself and his wife in the lead roles! Long story short; the rehearsal situation became so bad that the Board fired the director after two weeks. They hired another director, and with only four weeks to open, the show was re-cast and ended up doing quite well.<BR>

One thing I have encountered at an audition is favoring friends and so called regulars.I too auditioned at Ensemble theater and was asked to return for call backs.Upon leaving I noticed a person that had ill feeling toward me but obviously was very familiar with Ensemble and the casting director.They both were watching me leave and having an intense discussion.Less than 2 days later I was e mailed not to return as they were going in another direction.While this may have been the case I felt insulted and never associated with Ensemble theater again.I think I deserved a better explanation.
