Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

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.


Is that a Freudian post?

TCB...if it was me, I would feel better about not getting the part if I found out that the director gave it to a best friend and that was why I was given so little opportunity to read.

To me at least, knowing it was politics and that if Meryl Streep herself had shown up incognito she would not have had a shot at the role would keep me from feeling that I was being rejected for immediate appearance of lack of talent.

But  you know your friend , so you must do what you think best.   Just my 2cents

This 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.

I will probably follow everyone’s advice, but I prefer to do it face to face.  However, the one thing the director couldn’t do is tell anyone that a role is precast.  Community theaters, at least in Tacoma, do not allow precasting.

That's weird.  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.

Jane, the play is being done at the Lakewood Playhouse, which is located in Lakewood.

Well, I guess that is the difference between the cities.

That does not mean it doesn’t happen, but the policy is that it won’t happen.

Who made that kind of policy, and how is it enforced?

I would assume the Artistic Director’s of the individual theaters, which would be Chris Serface and John Munn.
