(Old hat I know) - What are people's views on pre-casting

Are people for or against pre-casting local plays. I know this is an old subject, but don't you think if an audition is advertised as open. That all the parts for that particular production should be open. I know particular directors have certain people in mind, but at the end of the day, someone special might just be walking past. Just a thought.

For or Against

I have pre-cast in the past (It's not a peom) but on rare occasions changed my mind because someone else has turned up and blown me away (Usually with a .22) Just a thought Leon (That guy on the mend) Of course it has upset people previously promised a part, so I have done both sides of this. It's not a nice feeling.
