Audition season opens... let the games begin!

Well it's a new year and in the world of the average stage actor, it means the mad rush for auditions has begun.  This is the time of year when most theater companies are auditioning for their spring and summer productions.  It's also the time when most actors in New York get very comfortable at places like the Equity building and Ripley-Grier.  Some will do everything they can to get to, sometimes FIVE auditions in one day.  No, that was not a typo.  I've known one friend who actually did EIGHT in one day.  I, myself, am not one of those people.  I can do maybe two a day but, that's the limit.  These things can be stressful enough.  Why would I want to add running through streets into the mix?
