Comparing regional auditions
In Boston, it’s the StageSource audition, (June 20-21, 27-28 this year). In D.C., it’s the open audition for the League of Washington Theatres (June 15-17, 20-21). In both places, the timing and the concept is the same: have a regional audition with auditors from many local theaters listening to performers of all levels. It’s a productive few days, I am sure, and any aspiring actor in the region should plan on such auditions.
This year, there were articles about each audition in the papers. In Boston, though grueling, the auditions are run without long lines. In Washington, however, some people have to show up at 4:50 a.m.! Now, there is some reason to infer that the young woman who showed up before dawn was flaky and a bit too dedicated to doing things the hard way (once “nearly arrested as a drug-addled vagrant because I refused to break character”), but still, I’ll take Boston.
