There is a lounge just outside the main entrance to the Equity audition center where non-union people can wait if a spot opens so they can possibly be seen. Many shows that are chiefly looking for BIPOC actors have audition monitors who many times have quite a few audition spots and no one waiting to audition. (Shows looking for all demographics many times have people waiting for hours for a possible spot to open up.) If people showed up as non-union at some of these calls, they could possibly be seen without joining Equity and could still pursue non-union work until they landed an Equity gig.
