Need a job and feel like placing the blame where it belongs? I found this audition notice on Craig's List. This time you just need to pass for a Black tenor or bass, male.
Steve Silver’s Beach Blanket Babylon, the nation’s longest running theatrical cabaret show, is located in San Francisco’s North Beach district. Beach Blanket Babylon runs 50 weeks a year and plays to enthusiastic audiences.
Beach Blanket Babylon thrashes the deserving
We have an immediate opening for a Performer Understudy with high energy, excellent vocal, movement and performance talent and skills.
We are seeking an African-American man with a strong tenor or bass singing voice. You must be at least 18 years of age and appear 35 or younger. You must be in good physical condition and should be 5’8” to 6’ 3”. You must show enough dance/movement skill to be taught some tap dancing. (We will teach you if you are hired.)
Comic timing, acting skills and the ability to imitate popular culture icons such as James Brown, Barack Obama; Tiger Woods; and to spoof ethnic and cultural stereotypes are a plus.

Note I have also seen opera singers performing at Teatro ZinZanni on the waterfront.
