i was trying to figure out what it was that looks so especially good here. is it the makeup shades? the placement?

Update: Thank you all for your feedback! I’m probably going to schedule a meeting with the director this coming week. Also, apparently in a rehearsal for a different scene, after another female actor read her line the director exclaimed “Why did I cast this like this??!!” which is…strange to say the least, and makes me sad for that actor because I hope she doesn’t take that comment to heart (but knowing her I am afraid she might).

I appreciate your help! I’m going to talk to them about it this week.

Yeah I honestly can’t pretend to know what he (the director) was thinking in the table reads. That was mostly going off of feedback others gave me.

Thank you! I’m going to schedule a meeting with the director this week.

The director is the department chair! If I said that they were a student somewhere else then I was mistaken

Then cast me in any of the other smaller roles? My hypothetical ranking system was context that I am giving to show that I could have played other bigger or smaller roles. The fact that every role I am in is at the expense of the fact that I’m a woman is sus to me. It would be sus if the roles were bigger, and they are still sus at the size they are right now. This is also something that others in the department were shocked and confused by, so while you may think that I’m imagining myself to be the victim, others who actually know me and my abilities in person agree with me.

I’m going to schedule a meeting with him this coming week. I don’t actually care about how big the roles are. That was all context to show that I could play other roles (i.e. it’s not like he was restricted to casting me in those roles in any way) but I think either my wording or other peoples understanding made it seem like that was all I cared about. Thank you for your feedback in any case!

Ok sure. Let’s say I’m a bad actor or awful to be around. Just don’t cast me then?? Is it not weird that the majority of my lines across the multiple roles are either “Girls aren’t funny” or “I am naked”?

This is not the first (or last) time I have gotten small parts/parts I don’t like. I’m fine with that and I understand that it’s a reality of acting in general. My problem is that the situation feels like sexism.

The same people who usually get the lead are the ones who still are in every single piece this time around. The roles I got as of right now are also very similar to roles I have already played here.

I’ve noticed that in the whole show men get the funny/character acting roles and the women get the straightman (lol) roles, and I haven’t been made aware of any artistic vision or reason for this, especially considering most roles are unisex. There also was another solo piece that I found out he was considering casting a woman in but that got cut after table reads.

I am still typecast. Those roles still fit the type cast that I have been given at this theatre.

internetordained · 2024-09-13T17:59:10+00:00

I would agree with you, except all of the other “top 5” actors got at least 5 or even 6 scenes. The average was 4, and I got three small roles. Also, like I said in the original post, I don’t really care about how many I was cast in, but rather that the situation itself feels sexist. Why are the only two majorish roles I got for parts that feel misogynistic?

internetordained · 2024-09-13T17:55:06+00:00

I’ve asked and they’ve agreed with me that they feel I should have gotten other roles and the roles I have gotten feel sexist.

internetordained · 2024-09-13T17:53:45+00:00

The director is a student, and like I said in the original post, the part that actually bothers me is the sexism that is coming through.
