Can 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?

So, in effect, you'd be paying for another actor to be involved? Why not just audition for the pro roles and get paid yourself? No, I don't think it's worth it. How many amateur people would be paying $300 - I reiterate. Ask how much the budget is, where they're getting the money (if it's just from amateur cast, then that's really worrying), and how much the tickets are. And then ask them how confident they are of selling those tickets.
