You have seen actors standing in line to audition many times. You probably know someone who is trying hard to put together a show. Ever wonder what what they think about while about their profession? What makes them wake up everyday and deal with the lifestyle they've chosen?
This piece gives us a tiny, but intimate, glimpse of people who are on both sides of that audition table. Some of you will smile in recognition, some may rethink their decision about going into show business.
Kudos to those who keep on going.
This is a sweet piece for a feature programme looking for something that’s fun to listen to and that won’t date.
Its well cut. It has entertaining interviews. The music is well mixed and well chosen.
It makes you think about all those tiny little roles that we don’t pay so much attention to in small theatre productions and on the box – every one of them fought for with dedication, ambition and sweat.
On a production level, here is a hiss in even the inside interviews – which is a shame and it could have been doctored better in the editing stage. But all in all, this is a good portrait of those hard working, hard dreaming wannabees actors of New York.
