Tonight, the actors hot together and just had a speed-through of just the script (no staging or costumes) to be prepared for tomorrow after the break.

Just my 2centsThis was my thought as well. But it might just make her mad that she wasted her time. I still don't get why the director didn't just say that the role was already cast. Why waste people's time.

Community theaters, at least in Tacoma, do not allow precasting.

It's not common here in Olympia theater, but it's not unheard of, nor does anyone here get upset about it as long as it's announced with the audition notices.
That does not mean it doesn’t happen, but the policy is that it won’t happen.
