I don’t know where the audition is. But if it’s at the AEA building, know that the non-equity people sit out in the hallway on a wooden bench and they are not allowed to use the bathroom in the AEA area. Bring something to soften the bench. Also make sure you have water, snacks and something to do with you. And someone to sit with. The closest bathroom is around the corner at the McDonalds. One of you will want to stay while the other “goes”. The sign up is on the bulletin board near the door monitor. The list for non-equity will say “Future Equity”. If your daughter has some equity points, she can sign up on the Future Equity list, but then she is allowed to go in and sit in the AEA area - but only her…you cannot go in with her. If she has points… have her go in. It’s much more comfortable inside. As the other posters have indicated, she may wait all day and not be seen at all. If they’re going fast with the equity people though, they may send someone out and get the headshots/resumes of all the non-equity people waiting. They’ll come back out a little while later and call names. Those are the people that should continue waiting because if there is time, they will try to see you at the end of the day. Everyone else gets to leave. It is an experience. So if you can do it… even for a short while, do it. It’s worth the experience. It’s a bit different if it’s not at the AEA building…
