Is it normal to be charged a bond in amateur musicals?
Mon, 5 Nov 2007, 08:59 pmCan someone help me? I've been told that if I succesfully audition for a part in an amateur production that I will have to pay $200 bond. Is this normal or should I be suspicious?
Bond is ACCEPTABLE

Guys, this is a $150,000 production being put on in a professional venue (the theatre royale)!!!! $200 is not a lot of money, and you get it back anyway. It is due to some principals dropping out and leaving the company high and dry (when did loyalty leave community theatre by the way?). If you don't want to pay the bond and be in a semi-professional production, in a professional venue with professional lighting and sound, then don't! The director is forking out $150K for this to go on, that's something like spending $7K on each person. $200 for the security of you turning up to perform is not alot to ask!
