The Wal-Marting of American Theater

<p>^^ Exactly. </p>

<p>I’ll use a friend of mine as an example. My friend, Steve, has been a working actor for over 35 years. He lives with his wife and two sons in Minneapolis and works all over the country in regional theaters. Casting sessions, however, are held in New York, so he must fly into NYC on a regular basis to be seen and cast for work. Steve fly’s into NY about once or twice a month to be seen. He’s even come to NY to audition for plays at the Guthrie (in Minneapolis) as the theater uses a NYC Casting Director.</p>
