just a side-note - CTG does not have non-union ASMs, tho they are allowed PAs (other than perhaps the Kirk Douglas, which has mixed requirements), same w the Pasadena Playhouse, where they are allowed non-AEA understudies too - but in my experience and for whatever reason, CTG takes PAs from the local universities (where their small pool of regulars teach) but prefers to interview/hire SMs who have NOT grown up/ worked/based in LA, and esp now under Mr Ritchie. I know amazing SMs who can't get into the building while folks who have one or two regional credits, or even one NY Showcase Code on their resumes, get called in to meet right away. Frustrating.
