Anyway, there was a high school kid who obviously has had some high school theatrical training/experience, but he has...let me put this delicately...a vocal affectation that belies the virility and manliness of the characters for which he was auditioning.
And I don't think that he could fake an accent to save his life...affectation or not.
But the only real problem is that now that I'm playing the Captain, Josh (the director) needs someone to play Joxer and this kid is really the only person that there is (who has auditioned). According to the script, Joxer can be younger than the Captain, but it says that he looks older. It's one thing if the entire cast is younger, like for a school production, but for any kind of a community production, I don't think he'll be very effective playing older. But, we'll see. It'll be an experience for all of us, that's for sure.
