The only reason any place gets away with charging to audition is because WE let them. No matter how much 'exposure' they give, to charge just for the 'privelege' of auditioning is WRONG.

Paying to play is a fight for another day. But if enough people politely informed these 'shows' precisely what could be done with their audition fees, then they'd go away - either the fees, or after enough time, the shows.
