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?

For young actors

Hi Freddie, You do have a point with regards to possible assumptions being made about this whole situation based on some fairly non descript information provided by Millie. And yes, for all we know male auditionees may have been asked to disrobe as well. I think this situation encountered by Millie does serve as a good example to the young actors who often post on this site. If you are under 18 it is very advisable to have a parent or guardian attend auditions with you. I'm hoping that no under 18's, male or female, were actually pressured in to removing their clothes for the purposes of this audition. Tulipa.
