certain ass face directors
Mon, 9 Apr 2001, 12:47 pmwhen 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

Firstly I'd just like to say "how typical" to the person who responded to my posting and sneered at the "professional and amateur" separation. You've given so much. Now....

"who do you think you are steven, the theatre nazi?
all that's my business was saying was when someone auditions they have a right to some form of reply"
No. They don't. Try reading my response again and take in in the vein it was written in.
"whether it is a letter, a call, or a simple "if you don't here by a certain date then i've gone with some one else". they never claimed to be frickin dame judy!"
My point and I thought it was quite clear. Obviously not to you. Try not to contradict yourself.
"but when they go up to receive their oscar for an outstanding performance in a blockbuster they'll remember this debate and probably say "thankyou steven dawson for having so little faith that all the left over was given to my good friend and amazing director quentin tarantino who took a chance and invested it in my talents and my performance"
We're talking theatre here. Try to focus. Or is it showbusiness you are interested in?
"you must think you're the small kevin spacey
hope you take it as well as you dish it out?"
You've dished something out? Mmm. Yes I can see that. Try not to be so sensitive. You won't make it in this business [if indeed you are actually in this business or hope to be] if you respond with such juvenile [and pretty predictable] attempts at spite. You might also try to avoid reading the show biz gossip sheets and movie magazines when you talk about theatre.
Thank you to Grant Malcolm, etc who gave good responses.
Finally, it seems that you all do things the way you want and actors will always bitch that they didn't get a part. Amateur and professional alike. And everyone has a right to be bitter in their own minds. That's part of the fun. But realistically, nothing will change, no matter how much you want it to. Sometimes you will get the odd director who will do things "nicely, nicely" and more power to them. But don't be surprised if it doesn't happen that way. Yours with all due respect.
