After canceling auditions in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, some New York-based casting directors are back in business. New York City was hit hard by the storm, which did billions of dollars in damage and claimed some 30 lives. Broadway shows canceled performances and casting directors put the kibosh on auditions as actors and staff were unable to make it into the studios. Now, as the recovery process begins, Broadway shows are back (often with discounted tickets) and auditions are again underway. “We have auditions back on the calendar for tomorrow and Friday,” Tara Rubin, a casting director known for her work on such Broadway shows as “Mamma Mia”, “Oklahoma!” and “Metamorphoses,” told Backstage. “We were incredibly fortunate not to have lost power.” Others haven’t been so fortunate. “We have not been able to open and have cancelled this week’s [Equity Principal Auditions] and auditions,” Judy Henderson, whose office is located on West 89th Street,...

"Cabaret is the first and only career open to them," claims Sidney Myer about newcomers to New York and the opportunities for exposure offered by cabaret.Myer, who books acts for the small, hospitable Don't Tell Mama, mentions the names of entertainers he's worked with who have advanced to other arenas, including Billy Porter, Jonathan Larsen (composer-author of "Rent"), Ray Jessel (about to hit Broadway in the Michael Feinstein–Dame Edna show "All About Me"), and Tom Lenk ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer"). Lenk came to New York to audition for the Broadway musical "Rock of Ages" and called Myer for a slot at Don't Tell Mama. He didn't want the show's producers to just see him audition, Myer says; Lenk wanted them to see his show: "He wanted to be seen in cabaret. He set aside a table for those very producers."

Recently, as I was sitting in my partner's office (who owns a talent agency), I overheard one side of a heated phone conversation between one of his agents and a client."If you go in for Tara Rubin for this audition, just to be seen, without any intent on accepting an offer for the national tour of 'Young Frankenstein' should it come your way..." was how the conversation began as the agent's temporal veins began to pulse. I knew where this was going. And it wouldn't be pretty.The actor, with solid representation, had been given an offer for a job in New York which would conflict with the potential "Young Frankenstein" national tour. He had an offer on hand that was not yet finalized on paper, so auditioning for other projects is the norm in the industry. What is not the appropriate norm is what he wanted to do.

"We're not suffering like some areas of the country, where you hear about greatly reduced single-ticket sales," says Victoria Nolan, managing director of Yale Repertory Theatre. "Perhaps it's because this is Connecticut, where there's a pretty strong commitment to supporting and attending the arts."Yet theatre in Connecticut is showing signs of economic stress: Stamford Theatre Works has closed. The Stamford Center for the Arts' Rich Forum sits largely unused. Fairfield Theatre Company is presenting nothing but concerts, and Bridgeport's Downtown Cabaret Theatre is no longer producing its own shows.What's going on? In one of the nation's richest states, home to several top regional theatres, ticket sales are reportedly holding steady yet contributions are down.
