12: Casting is Relative

Perils of casting when friends and relatives are auditioning

All community theatre directors (and even some pros) have been there.  One of the auditioners is a good friend or relative.  What happens if you cast him or her? What happens if you don’t? Either way, you may have a problem.  The Geeks explore this perennial problem and offer some suggestions to other agonizing directors.

Music for this episode, as always, comes from Music Alley (musicalley.com)

    More often than not to mix family or relatives with business can be a disaster. But for selecting such for a role could be damed if you do damed if you don’t. I think one solution to this delema is stick to the truth. If that particular family member or relative shows potential and committed than it could be a go if not than it’s a no go.
