God, she can't even RT correctly. And there IS no twitter account under the name "GayBrideOfFrankenstein."

Point taken, gnosis.

somethingwicked and LizzieCurry, Gay Bride's Twitter is actually http://www.twitter.com/GayBride. The Tweet is on their account. For some reason, she typed in the entire name. I don't know why she changed it if she was re-Tweeting it from their account, unless she typed everything manually and just forgot their user name.

Guess it shows that she doesn't understand Twitter either.

Probably the latter. It happens, but you'd think that someone who shames how OTHERS don't understand Twitter would've figured this out already.

One more thing about this. I read DE's resume on her website, and I know some of the offices that she worked in previously. I can tell you whole-heartedly that if she pulled this crap while working for Melcap or Ellen Parks, or Stancyk and Cherpakov...they would've fired her on the spot.

No self respecting casting team would condone this sort of behavior. I'm talking about successful casting directors who work on Broadway shows and major TV and film projects. Not green, unqualified casting directors like Daryl who work primarily on NYMF shows and student films, and then make the majority of their living "teaching" classes...which are essentially ways to scam actors into "paying for an audition."

Ignoring the personalities and specifics for moment, let's just look at the bottom line again:

An audition is a JOB INTERVIEW. If a company made the contents of a job interview public for the entertainment of others, it would be entirely unethical.
This is NOT an issue of first amendment rights; it is not being suggested this person be thrown in jail. The issue is about appropriate business behavior.

Unfortunately for her, Eisenberg's lack of remorse seems to imply she's of the "no publicity is bad publicity" mantra.

As this story gets more and more coverage, it's going to hurt her career more and more.

Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.

Her comments prove she shows no remorse and even admitted the possibility of tweeting from the audition room again. She's the "hot topic" on BWW and now featured in the NY Times.

And now that she's been forced to add a day of open auditions on Monday, her latest tweet is "Finalizing callbacks for Gay Bride..."?!?! Announcing to the world that she's got everyone she wants to see, and next Monday's audition is superfluous. Doing what she can to get a dig in. Unbelievable.

To add to the chorus, thank you SO much, Marc Shaiman! And thank you for calling her to say it.

It seems just yesterday she tried to make us think he was on her side by thanking the Tony-Award winning composor". Sucks for her that he spoke publicly as well.

I find it wonderful that Marc Shaiman is so connected and so willing to weigh in when necessary. He is often a voice of reason on this board, not hesitating to offer a very relevant comment or reality check when a situation gets out of hand.

lol@Lizzie's link. Oops on NYT

Referencing my last comment regarding her tweeting about a Tony winning composer sharing his thoughts. Though she never actually came out and said he was on her side it was, definitely, implied. I know that a lot of people did think that this nameless composer had thrown his support for her. Do you think if she hadn't done that Marc would have kept quiet and not gone public? Or would he have done it anyway?

I think we would have heard from Mr. Shaiman. He has not hesitated to call people out for their B.S. before, popping up on the worst of these boards, the Sacramento Music Circus/Scott Eckhern affair, etc, etc.

Another round of applause to him for keeping connected and reminding us that the higher ups are indeed watching.

Isn't it a show? Or do people just find the name of the show ironic in light of the situation?

Per her DECasting Twitter:

After a productive meeting with AEA this afternoon, I?m happy to report that we have agreed to both put this behind us.
half a minute ago from web

By mutual agreement, future tweets will not be coming from the audition room regarding the actors auditioning.
half a minute ago from web

I apologize to the actors and professionals who put themselves on the line every time they audition...
less than 20 seconds ago from web

...and will continually strive to make the audition room an inspiring, nurturing place for creativity and talent.
less than 20 seconds ago from web

I look forward to working with AEA and its members on future projects, and hope to see you all in the audition room soon.

Sounds reasonable. A clear apology and promise not to do it again. What more could anyone want?

She did not own up to everything. "I apologize to the actors who put themselves on the line" is not the same thing as "I did a stupid thing and I'm sorry."

Does "mutual agreement" mean that Equity told her they would revoke her status if she did it again and she said, "Gulp, okay"?

Well, time will tell what happens to her career. If she can continue conducting her job and business in a civil manner, good for her. If not, then her apology means nothing.
