I say most because there are some, which deal with race, and/or history, that are, and should be the only exception to casting the best (or closet approximation) actor for the job. If the role calls for a 25 year old, and a 35 year old looks and can carry the part, chances are they'll get the part. When casting a male or female, their biological biology should not be a consideration unless of course, their genital are being cast in which case,a carefully worded audition notice should be posted, along with a certain amount of screening of additional cast members). <br />It only follows that a narrow mind, lacks the creativity and bravery it takes to ignore stereotypes, and break through the walls of bigotry that still exist in theatre, post the Elizabethan period.iThinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13598561036871644217noreply@blogger.com
