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

Re: Calling about the outcome of your audition.

What I've heard is that you don't do it. Ever. Like, ever. In other words, NEVER. It's nice to know I can now call Grant if he doesn't call me after an audition, but from several other auditioners...

In fact, I think that's whence came the age-old phrase 'don't call us, we'll call you.'

Or not, as the case may be.

PS A note for wussy directors who won't call (and I agree with whoever said that the bottom line is directors don't like the confrontation - lack of time my arse. How long d'you think it took to learn the bloody monologue learned just for that audition!): get each auditionee's email address and email them. Individually is preferable, group is a bit tacky as recipiants can see the other rejects...sorry people who auditioned. Vagabond just sent out the cast list to everyone who was rejected - blunt, but at least I know whose houses to bomb...;-)
