rejection
Sun, 18 Apr 2004, 01:12 pmI am awaiting a call of rejection, from a musical I have been dying to get into. Any ideas as to how to accept rejection graciously??

Just to disagree with you slightly, Craig, there is one element of an audition that is a test: I suppose you could call it your level of professionalism. Are you there on time? Do you know the lines? Are you ready? As a producer and director I regularly see actors that turn up 30mins or more late without warning, others simply don't show at all or clearly don't know their lines and try to wing it. It's an indicator of what you'll be like to work with. I really hate working with people that don't give their all. My job just becomes so much harder and as a result I tend not to cast those that fail that test.
