This may be a stupid question, but do they ever cast chorus members and/or understudies out of EPAs? Or do those come strictly from the ECCs? I'm still a little confused about how the whole thing works. Obviously. Any help is appreciated!

Hi, there. This is not a stupid question at all- glad you asked!

They certainly do cast chorus roles from the EPAs and, conversely, they sometimes will cast principal roles from the Chorus Calls. The bottom line- if you are right for a role, and they have not yet filled it, they will give you a shot at it.

Let me know if you have any other questions- always happy to help!

thanks!
