We were in NY this weekend for two on-campus auditions. My daughter reports that all of the faculty she dealt with and the kids in her groups were all extremely kind and supportive. The only bad behavior I noticed was one mom who positioned herself so that she could observe her daughter while she waited for her acting audition, then had a running commentary to no one in particular on each facial expression, each turn of the head, every time someone spoke to her. Then she’d remark “I see that she’s texting, but she’s not answering me!!” Poor girl. Soon after this, all parents were asked to move to a different part of the building. My daughter did tell me that some of the kids spoke about how nervous their parents make them at auditions.
