I couldn't agree more. I work as a paid student actor for a local regional theatre, and they have several ppl that come in that have no acting or singing experience what so ever. Most of the time they won't get lead roles but any role is a good role. Like Junior said "it IS a community theatre production". I would'nt worry about it. Audition and have fun with it. If you make it then congrats but if not then there's always the next show.

Thanx...but see you have an advantage over me...you actually know some ppl in Broadway. I know one person and we weren't really close...I had met him like 3 times, lol. He just recently moved to New York. If you don't mind me asking, what theater do you perform with? Do you have a contract or do you just do theater in your spare time?

Ok...sorry I haven't been on the boards lately. I just now found this post...when I posted it, it apparently got moved and I couldn't find it lol! I am also in production for "Oklahoma!" at the Cumberland County Playhouse (it ranks in the top 10 for Major Non-Profit Theaters in the country)so I have been really REALLY busy. I hope nobody is too mad.....I have been looking for a Talent Agency in NY, hoping that I can "weasel" my way into Broadway. Of course I prob. won't get at part at 16 yea
