Introduction

The Flatiron Theater Company is holding auditions!

An actor may only Audition for one Role, while a Role may have many Auditions for it!

Getting started

Run pipenv install; pipenv shell

Migrations

Create your migrations.

• Auditions should have an actor (string), location (string) and belong_to a role (integer).
• Roles should only have a character_name.

auditions Table

Column	Type
actor	string
location	string
phone	integer
hired	boolean
role_id	integer

roles Table

Column	Type
character_name	string

Relationship

• What relationships will this need (i.e. one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many)?

Audition

• Audition.role returns an instance of role associated with this audition.
• Audition.call_back() will change the the hired attribute to True.

Roles

• Role.auditions returns all of the auditions associated with this role.
• Role.actors returns a list of names from the actors associated with this role.
• Role.locations returns a list of locations from the auditions associated with this role.
• Role.lead() returns the first instance of the audition that was hired for this role or returns a string 'no actor has been hired for this role'.
• Role.understudy() returns the second instance of the audition that was hired for this role or returns a string 'no actor has been hired for understudy for this role'.
