Eh, kind of.
Truth be told, it's a lot of fun even when you've got maybe two lines (hence the kinda lol).
The program I tried out was very relaxed. The lady in charge kept everything focused on doing a good show, with the players that were there. So even noobs, an experimenter like me that just wanted to try it once, and the ones there just to avoid boredom after their kids went to college all got to be active parts of the play.
But I've got friends from that, and some of the stories I've heard made me realize how lucky it was she was in charge.
If you show up prepared, do the work, and don't do it half-assed, you'll be fine though. Worst case, they don't have anything for you to do on stage, so you end up in the crew helping out.
For me, it was all about trying something I'd never done before. The director knew that, and gave me a role fitting for that level of interest, then took me up on my willingness to play gofer and move heavy things. I had a ton of fun, and the show ended up well attended.
thats good to hear!! definitely shooting for ensemble/small role lol
