2 men for one act play urgently required
Tue, 24 June 2003, 01:10 pmI urgently need 2 fairly attractive men! - one aged 30ish and one 50 something for a one act play at Stirling Theatre in August. If you think you might fit the bill, please call on 0412 670 449 or email me. Would love to hear from you.

JB,
If you want to reply to someone directly, their email address is available by clicking on their name where it says "author" in their posting...it's not too hard to figure out.
I see that it seems to have been a genuine error, and you've apologised for that aspect of it. It seems both sides have been humiliated by your posting; 'nuff said.
But as far as your over-reaction to the audition process, I really suggest that you attend many, many more auditions and realise that, in general, you've not been treated any worse than most.
Yes, it's nice to have personal attention after an audition, and many small community groups do excel themselves by making a point of contacting unsuccesful auditionees...this is NOT the norm, and in the professional world it is virtually UNHEARD of.
I'm not saying this is desirable; there have been a few auditions where I have received helpful feedback, and one or two that have thanked me for attending.
But there have been hundreds more where I've been treated more like a number; not required to finish the entire audition; dismissed in a perfunctory way; or certainly ones when I've not heard from anyone once I've walked out the door. Even an audition for a multi-national producer (Disney) that flew me to Sydney at their own expense for a third call-back...after that, nothing. After all that promise, my agent was able to establish some time later that the role had been cast.
Not that I was hugely upset by this treatment...a pity not to get cast, of course...but par for the course as far as auditions go.
For your own piece of mind, let it build some strength of character, and just get used to it.
Cheers,
Craig
