re: cross-gendering roles
thanks baritone. sorry my somewhat agressive tone. and yes there have been some successful cross gendered castings, but to do it just for the sake of doing it is ..well..i think very insulting to the works of many playwrights and the talents of many very good actors/actresses depending which direction your headed. in this day an age, we should be teaching actors how to work and be successfull at the craft, not the game.
