Hi Bill--remember the Clamshell Alliance? The last time I tried out for a professional show was an "anti-nuclear troupe" production of "Enemy of the People. The audition process lasted two weeks. Then we were called in for rehearsals but still weren't assigned parts, except for Stockmann, who was being played by an actor who seemed better suited to Sheridan Whiteside. The rehearsal consisted of trying to read through while he suggested changes to the script, which were all accepted. When he got "whited sepulcher" approved, I insisted that the director tell me which part I'd have. He responded, "It's not that kind of production." I headed for the door. It was Geronimo Sands doing Ibsen...
