Is is ever acceptable to be asked to audition nude? Had a weird experience last weekend at an audition and not sure if I over-reacted. There is a bedroom scene in the play apparently - was unaware at the time. Has anyone else had to before for amateur theatre?

Different Directors

Hi Millie, I think to an extent it depends on the director. I auditioned for a show, and whilst I knew from the content of the script, it was only at the end of the audition that I was asked if I was comfortable with nudity and sex scenes. However, at another audition, when I was assistant director, the director (who had also written the script), asked auditionees to perform same sex kisses (as they would be required in the script, not just for his own enjoyment).
