Twig says, "Look! They posted the play tryouts!" Twig says, "Uh-oh. Slight problem." Twig says, "There are nine parts for boys." Twig says, "And two for girls."
One director I auditioned for changed the character I wanted to play in Tartuffe to a woman because he knew he’d get more women auditioning. I’ve also done Twelfth Night with a woman (in fake beard) as Sir Toby and The Taming of the Shrew with a woman as Gremio. Remember the ad with the very old lady head on the sexy young woman body? We had an old man head on such a body between putting on her makeup and putting on her costume.
