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?

"You mentioned this auditioning nude was for an 'amateur theatre' show. I'm desperately curious to know which amateur theatre company has a following who would find live nudity acceptable. Most amateur companies stir up hornets' nests when they present works with foul language or containing 'contemporary themes'." Blak Yak Inc, Perth W.A. But we don't really have a following as such. But we certainly wouldn't be asking anyone to nude up at an audition on the spot.
