The key turns, the door opens, Titirangi Theatre wraps itself around you as you descend. Excitement and anticipation builds with each step taken. How many new faces will we see? What talent will we discover today?
2pm. We start with a polite whisper, so as not to disrupt the peace of thespians now passed. "Fill in these application forms please." As each woman arrives, some alone, some with support, their excitement builds with their chatter.
We take some time to scan the room. 37!!! 37 applications, 37 women. Some old, some new. Chatting and smiling, while checking out the competition, sizing up the talent. Titirangi's own version of The Women?
Three and a half hours later we have finally auditioned the last woman! Favourite line of the day? "Soak it please."
Now to filter 37 women down into 13 roles. Thank god it's not American Idol!
