AUDITION FEE: anyone heard of one?

I have just been gob-smacked by the request for money from me to audition for a production. This has never happened to me before, so before I judge it, I am wondering what more experienced thespians think? I also want to add that there is a possibility that the high cost of the genre (opera) contributes to the payment request. The company also has support from industry professionals, which could make the difference, presuming that many of the coaches are paid to help the chosen cast reach the required standard. Open slather, what do you think? -Aimee

Thank you Grant. I never realised GRADs had done that and thank those that be that sanity DID prevail. As is very evident by Mr "Wlater Plinge", such a move would be more deterent than productive, why become a member when you only have a CHANCE of being a part of the show.

I certainly would think twice.
