HARDIN B.M. East Texas Baptist University, 1991 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Fine Arts in the Department of Theatre in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Spring Term 2006 © 2006 Mark W. Hardin ii ABSTRACT I have been cast as “Bobby” in A Chorus Line at Orlando Broadway Dinner Theatre in Orlando. I will use this opportunity as my thesis role. As part of my thesis defense, I will combine an analysis of the character of “Bobby” in A Chorus Line with an assessment of Actors’ Equity Association’s audition policies from 1970 to the present, and investigate whether the audition held in the show abides by the policies established by AEA for Broadway calls.
