In honor of Mystery Hunts past...

...and this week's momentous events, 88 lines about 44 presidents.

In other news, having heard nothing, I'm assuming no callback for Winter's Tale. Not surprising, given the small number of women's parts and the number of people who are both better actresses and more in with the group than I, but still, it's always disappointing. I was proud of my monologue, though.

On Callbacks

[evelio.livejournal.com]

Now I've wondered. Is it always assumed that if you don't get called back you don't get a part? In the shows I've directed I only do callbacks if I can't decide between people. But if I know why bother having a callback?

However in recent shows we've gotten messages like "Oh I didn't get a callback so I didn't think I was getting a part" This is even for people who want to be in the chorus. What's the expectation here?

On other times I've even cast people who weren't called back for that part simply because the other guys turned out to be duds. Or honestly, and actor is an actor whether he's playing person X or person Y.

Anyway sorry to rant, I just finished a set of auditions and casting was slightly painful.
