Thanks Trevor--but probably for the best. Made me realise I should work with a partner, a normal person, so I don't have the pressure of pretending to have any educational value. That's the part that makes me nervous.

I don't know if this thread encompasses how one deals with rejection. But I think it can be a very positive thing. What makes one want to audition for roles one doesn't really want to play? One's ego? One's urge to get out of the house? One's need of work that pays? One's spouse?
