Oh, good points arrdad. I was thinking my post might have made it sound like it doesn’t take any talent at all as long as you are a guy: that’s not in the least true for college and professional and maybe even some community theatre in communities where guys aren’t terrified of it like our little podunk town. (though in our town, seriously, it takes talent to get a lead role but I swear if you showed up and were a guy we’d have taken you in some shows…)

But once you try to get into college and beyond, it takes a ton of talent. It’s just that they don’t turn away quite as many throngs of talented guys as they do the girls.
