There is no task undertaken that can be undermined,faster and more thoroughly then with lack of commitment. I have been blessed to work with nothing but the most devoted individuals in my three years of community theater. However I have dealt with bad attitudes in other areas. I know how frustrating it is. I have only to say this to those who do not put forth their best effort. If you wish to embarrass yourself on stage that’s the way to go.If you do not care about embarrassing others,well shame on you.

The thing that gets me though is those directors who cast these people you speak of over and over again. True, directors don’t always know the acting habits of everyone, but most of us who have been around a while do know who they are. I have seen time and time again these people being cast by the same directors time and again with the same results, not showing for rehearsal, leaving early, not learning lines not available for every production and on and on. Yes, if you are going to act, then act. And give it 110%. Some of us may not be as talented, but for me as a director I would prefer to cast a less talented actor who goes all in that’s the person I know I can work with, rather than the one who is only 90% or who may drop out for something “better”. Someone who does that sort of thing to me once, will never get a chance to do it to me a second time.
