when certain people audition for certain plays and they are not cast they still expect to receive a courtesy call from the director. manners go a long way, especially for super sensitive and shaky performers

Well I believe that is the wrong attitude to take. People are good enough to give their time to audition so it really is appropriate to call all people back.
I am not involved in Theatre but I am an employer of people and I would never consider not calling each individual that applied for a job in my business.

I recently held my very first ever auditions (and then went home to a LARGE gin & tonic) and not only did I (hopefully) remember to tell everyone that I _would_ call them during the week, but on the Wednesday, I sat down and started ringing around. (I picked Wednesday for purely selfish reasons - I get paid then and it makes the world a all-round nicer place.... ;) )

Unfortunately at this point I wasn't able to give anyone a 'yes' or 'no' answer, because I had had some more people want to audition - ones that couldn't make it to the first day, due to work and babies and that sort of thing. I had to leave a few messages on ansaphones because it reached the point where I needed to go out again, but I managed to let everyone know, somehow, that I would be calling with an answer on either Saturday or Sunday - after the next few auditions.

And I did - on Saturday afternoon.

I would never be able to consider not ringing, or emailing, anyone to let them know, and especially to thank them for their time and interest. No matter how many people there were.

It has nothing to do with shaky or overblown egos - it's just common politeness!
