Topic: Looking for a thread that I read earlier
Posted: 10/03/06 at 5:07pm

Help! There was a thread posted (I think) in the acting area regarding casting or not casting actors that are on certain medications. I wanted to respond to it, but can't find it again. Can anyone help me?

Not sure if this was what you're looking for, probably not, but there's some stuff about actors or meds and drugs in this thread, a page so so in: http://www.communitytheater.org/discuss/forum_posts.asp?TID= 1826&KW=medication
Maybe...? :)

Couldn't find one Diva... If you remember the topic well enough, no reason not to rehash it.. I'm sure if the originator is still around they will chime in..

Thanks, kiwiholly. I appreciate your help on that, but I tried the address you gave me and it told me that the page was unavailable. Perhaps you can tell me what specific topic under "Acting" it was in and I can surf a bit. By the way, welcome to the Board! I'm pretty new here myself, but that doesn't stop me from being outspoken!

I think I'll give it another day or so before I respond from memory, Marty....I want to make sure I get all the specifics correct before I rant lest I sound more foolish that I usually do!

Thanks to all who looked for that thread for me, and I blush to admit that, yes, SkiDoc, it was on the AACT board! I only visited there one time, and I guess I read it there. Now I've got to register for that Board so that I can respond! Embarrassed

Thanks again,

red diva

Diva,

I just re-read that discussion. I am pretty much floored by the idea of having people list the medications they taking on an audition form. As an employer if we asked that type of a question on an application or in an interview we would rightly be sued, or at the least hit with a discrimination suit by the department of labor. I can not believe that some one would advocate that a community theatre put that on an audition form. I wonder how long it will take until someone makes an issue of that.
