To explain, I have a Theatrical Arts teacher at my high school, he is one of my favorite in the entire school, a truly amazing educator. But up until now, I thought maybe he was a little more fair, and just than he really is.
He chooses favorites, now he would never admit to it, but he does. So when he is casting a play, it's the same people every time, and it's for all of the wrong reasons. I don't consider myself a seasoned critic, but the last play he cast had a terrible lead who was constantly falling into his old acts. There were so many other hopefuls with much better skills, but for some reason, he didn't pick them.
A rule in theatre is that if you have to coach your character out of one of their past roles, you shouldn't be wasting your time on them.
My teacher is a great guy, but how do I show him that there are better people out there, how do the actors and actresses as a group make him realize that he can't pick favorites if they aren't any good?
