To audition, or not to audition? And what exactly does “published” mean regarding monologues?

Dumb questions probably, but a professional theatre is holding general auditions for the upcoming season. They pay their actors and mention “Equity” in their disclaimers. I really don’t think my acting chops are on this level, but auditions are good practice...

Actresses in their 40’s - how many of your actress friends from your 20’s have given up?

I’d say it’s at 75% for me. The girls that I came in with in my early 20’s have decided it’s too tough or left for other reasons - only a handful of my friends left - have you noticed this too? On plus side less competition.
