anybody at their perf. arts school or theatre every known a show where the leads were cast only because of how much money they have [with the theatre hoping they'll get some of their cash]?

please don't say "well i'm sure it's for a good reason"

...it's NOT because of their talent let me tell you that.

[the reason i'm upset is that they were ranked like 20th out of 28 in the dept. and they're a lead bc of the money... what in the world]


edit: excuse me grammar whores

well, i'm in a youth theatre, and one of the younger kids mom is kathy najimi-who isn't all that famous. her daughter always gets leads, but she is VERY talented...amazing voice, and actress, and she's only 8.

First of all, who is that and why don't I know of her?

Second, CASTED is not a word. The past tense of cast is cast.

THANK YOU, Ashley. That was my first thought when I read the subject. Every time I see the word "casted," part of my soul dies.

I wanted to say something, but my Grammarspelling Witch side of me is just exhausted to death. Eep, Taryn, if I were you, my soul would be in nothing short of ENglish-hell at the moment.
