FORTUNATELY MINE could not be less interested in getting onstage.  BUT even if she did and she was good enough and right enough for a role, she would get as equal consideration for the part as anyone else as well as the rejection if she was not.  Quagmire indeed it is.  But if that bothers them, then something is radically wrong there!!  I still would try NOT to have it appear as a choice in the interest of marital bliss if I did, nor marital problem if I did not.  But if MY wife didn't like it - and she was not qualified nor right for a role - she'd either get over it or she wouldn't. But I would never compromise the quality of something for which I was hired just to keep peace at home.  I generally would perhaps find a way to include her - in some capacity just to encourage a pleasant process and help her to feel as though she is contributing in a much more necessary and equally as important way.  But if she gets mad - then it's time for her to grow up.  It's pretty simple really - or not. Depends upon the relationship and how well adjusted everyone is.  ;o)
