Is there a man drought in local theatre or is it just my imagination?

Casting couch...

hypothetically, for the moment, look under the members menu for the Casting Couch. http://www.theatre.asn.au/casting_couch You'll find a (very) few NSW male actors listed. But then, only a few hundred members out of more than 5,000 have updated their profiles in the few weeks since the new profiles have been available. Once a few more members have updated their profiles, it should become a useful tool for unearthing wayward males. I'd hasten to add that I don't for a moment believe that the Casting Couch comes close to matching the services of a good agent - but then, not everyone has one of those. And at least no-one's trying to charge upfront fees or commissions for the Casting Couch. :-) I've been delaying mailing the membership and suggesting that everyone updates their profiles until I'll fixed a couple more bugs/misfeatures. Maybe I should just give it a go...? Cheers Grant
