PEGGY PLAYS OFF-BROADWAY I Cast Call “First casting calls are so difficult,” Peggy Lane said, looking ruefully at the fifty or more actresses and actors who milled about nervously, chatting with one another, or sat on the few folding chairs trying “Have you read the play?” Paula asked. “With only nine roles to be filled,” she continued, “I’m lucky there,” Greta replied. “I’ve seen it “What do you think of most in three different drafts since it started. Peggy’s Peggy stole a glance through the doors to the theater. “I think we’re about ready to find out whether or not you can act,” she said. “They seem to be about started there, and he was a good friend of hers. She had worked with him before, as a general assistant, when they had discovered a theater. It would not be Peggy could only think of as their ordeal. easy for him to consider Peggy for an acting role, and to do so completely without bias. It would not be a I am!” his friends. If she was to get a role in this new production, she would really have to work for it. And if it was difficult for Mal, she thought, it was “Do you think they’ll ever get through all these people?” Amy asked, interrupting her thoughts. “How can they hope to hear so many actors read for them in just one afternoon?” replied, glad to turn her attention from what was becoming just how badly you’ve written until someone gets up and starts to read your lines.” for type. They’ll select all the possible ones, send All at the same time, the girls started to reassure him and tell him how good the play was, and how badly the actors, including themselves, had handled “But what if the people they pick for looks can’t act?” Amy asked. “And what if some of the rejects are wonderful actors?” 3 “because they both have a pretty good idea of what the characters in the play should look like. And if the people they pick aren’t good enough actors, then they hold another cast call and try again. each explaining how good the others were and how Mal says that sometimes certain parts are so hard to cast that they have to go through a dozen calls just to find one actor.” “It seems kind of unfair, doesn’t it, to be eliminated assured manner, he calmly gave his opinion of the with pleasant, if somewhat brisk, nods to the assembled actors and actresses, and a special smile for Amy and Peggy. In a businesslike manner, they settled roles to cast, we’re going to do them first. I hope that you ladies won’t mind. We won’t keep you waiting long, but if we worked with you first, we’d have these young men came forward, Peggy felt that she just couldn’t stand watching the casting interviews any longer. It reminded her too much of the livestock shows she had attended as a youngster in her home attention to them. I heard that off-Broadway theater in New York attracts a lot of critics, and I thought that I’d do better here. Have you had any luck?” “Oh, I’m just beginning,” Peggy said. “I’m still studying at the New York Dramatic Academy. I hope I can get some kind of supporting role in this play, but I don’t think I’m ready for anything big yet. By “I think you do have a chance,” Peggy said. “In fact, if you can act, I bet you’ll get the part. I’ve read the play, and I know the author and director, and to me, too, because I’m getting near the end of part I’m trying for now isn’t a big one, but it’s a good business, but he’s been wonderful about giving me a chance. What do your parents think of your wanting to be an actress?” “Let’s go see how they’re coming with the actors,” she said. “I think they’re almost finished.” the right type for the role. Perhaps some other....” for him or for Mal. “All right, gentlemen,” Mal called out. “That takes I want to hear. Be sure to read the whole play characters you have been selected to read. You have Peggy was sure that each was casting rather hostile looks toward others who were trying for the same parts. Keeping friendships in the theater was not an easy thing, she thought, particularly for people of similar physical types! Mal’s first concern in reviewing the actresses was, of course, for the leading role. And, of course, it was for this role that he had the most applicants. More than twenty girls came forward when the announcement was made, and Peggy thought that she had the impossible ones away, and then go into elimination Mal went down the line, regretfully dismissing one expression hardly varied as he spoke to each review of the remaining girls eliminated a few more. Finally, there were only four left, Paula to get the part! I know it!” 10 “Don’t count too much on it,” Peggy cautioned, would be one of their most difficult roles to cast. Only four actresses came forward, and Mal, with difficulty, reviewed them all. Unable to eliminate by type, he gave them all scripts and asked them to come to the theater. Then he called for “character ingénues” and Peggy joined seven other girls in the “They won’t go back to the rejects,” Peggy explained, eliminated three of them on the basis of hair coloring, smile, “but not for a girl so pretty that she’ll dominate the stage! It was a pleasure to look at you, but I’m afraid you’re not quite right for the part.” When he was done, Peggy and two others were given scripts and told to come to the theater on Saturday. Feeling lightheaded and giddy, Peggy settled herself on one of the folding chairs that lined Scarcely noticing the rest of the proceedings, she thought only about the coming readings. She was so familiar with the play that she knew she had an advantage, perhaps unfairly, over the other two girls. She had watched the script grow from its first rough draft to the finished text now in her hands, and had discussed it with Randy through each revision. She devotion to the play above everything else would keep him from making up his mind in advance. But despite this knowledge, she could not help preparations backstage, the bright, hot lights and the smell of make-up and scenery paint as she for the production, sat in a chair by the proscenium, reading her script by the light of a small lamp and feeding the actor cue lines. Mal followed “Thank you. We’ll let you know our decision in a day or two.” The next “businessman type” was better, but still polite, invariable formula, “Thank you. We’ll let you know our decision in a day or two,” and called for the next reading. Peggy watched the remaining actors try for the which probable, and which stood no chance at The same process was then followed for the leading men, and the same wide range of talent and understanding of the part was displayed. Some seemed to have no idea at all about the play or its meaning, and Peggy was sure that these men had read only from the roles he had to play, and that as he got other roles, he showed other facets of a rounded talent. It made her angry that some actors thought they could get ahead in a creative field by being so many good ones, and that only one can be selected for each role. I wish there were some way of telling The door at the back of the theater opened quietly, and Peggy, turning around in her seat, saw a few of the actresses entering. They quietly found seats in “I think I’ll go back there with the girls,” Peggy whispered. “I’m looking for a girl I met at the casting call, and I’d like to chat with her for a few minutes the casting call of three days ago, but did not see her new friend among them. She decided to go out to the lobby to wait for her there. A new group of girls entered the theater as Peggy was leaving and, as she easier to just throw the whole thing out. I’m afraid
