You’ve gone through auditions and finally the director calls and offers you NOT the part you really wanted, but something else. A chorus part. A small supporting role. A (gasp) non-speaking role. Hey, it’s happened to everyone in community theatre. But how do you handle it? In this episode, the geeks talk about how to deal with those times when you’re asked to take a role other than the one you wanted (and for which you geared your audition). NOTE: Dave’s sorry this episode is a few days behind schedule. He’ll try to do better in the future. Podcast: Play in new window | Download April 22nd, 2010 |
