I don't want to minimize your feelings about this, because I can see you're relatively upset about the situation, and there ARE people out there that are for whatever reason, just jerks, BUT I would be interested in knowing more about what went into your opinion that this person is "playing favorites". Are these favorites you mentioned sub-par in the talent department? How many shows are you questioning the casting on and which shows? I can sympathize with the urge to call bullsh*t on someones choices, especially in school when there seems to be so much of it flying around, but my point is that unless you are 100% informed of the other actors histories and auditions, the play itself, and the directors particular vision for the script, then it's difficult to call them into question. It's all subjective and it's a big part of what we're doing here.

I couldn't agree with you more.  Well basically it all started three years ago when we got a brand new theater director. He has a degree in music so all of our shows are of course musicals cause that's what he knows I guess.  It's basically who ever is sucking up to him the most.  There are two particular kids in my class one guy and one girl who are like best friends and love theater to the max. Anyway right as the new director comes BOOM they're all over him telling him that they're going to tryout together.  They're the best actors in the school and deserve the leads.  They have been taking voice lessons and they can sing better than ever.  Now he buys all this crap and in our first play he gives them the leads.  He literally started givng parts away and asking people what he wanted cause he just handed them the leads. They didn't even audition or at least not with everyone else. Nobody else really auditioned though either cause basically if you wanted the part and you kind of looked and had the persona of the person in the play the part was basically yours.  Now there are many other people in my drama class along with them that have tried out for community theater plays.  There have been such shows as Inherit the Wind, Cabaret, and Little Shop of Horrors.  They have never got casted in one of those not even a chorus part.  I think they have gained some what of a reputation cause we haven't sold out with them being the leads ever.  I dont really know. haha just keep giving me feed back I guess. 

Thanks Jay yeah Guys and Dolls is my last play before I graduate = [

Laff this is great experiance & grounding, if you want to go on in this game. This situation happens regularly in Pro & Ameathre all the ime, so you will be well prepared to handle it.
with G&D even if you are just in the chorus, shooting  craps &/or bashing a tamborine. Your in 'IT' & it will pad out your CV anyway.
as the old adage says, "if you want to make your way in this bizo. It takes 80% Attitude & the balance made up with Aptitude!"
Lets face it at your age do you really want being fawned over & traeted like a toffee nosed moron?
Be in the shows watch, absorb & learn from looking  on even in the wings. Some of our best &/or better actors/performers are techies - just ask or listen to them at times - they will tell you why they are!
So Laff do 'it with Toi Toi Toi [Heart & soul] & to you Chookas {May you always play to a full house!]

Hey guys thanks for all the encouragment and support!
