Hi, Blak Yak, in association with KADS, will be holding auditions for its upcoming season of Black Books on Sunday the 25th of Feb at the Blue Room in Northbridge, from 9 to 2. The three lead roles have already been cast, Blak Yak was going to do Black Books last year, we held the auditions, cast the play and then for various reasons had to put it on hold, but there's still a bunch of great roles available. Nick Donald, recipient of last year's Best Director trophy at Dramafest, will be directing. He's looking for a talented, dedicated, group of actors (both male and female) who can play multiple roles. Performances will be in Kalamunda at the Town Square Theatre. For more information check out http://www.theatre.asn.au/audition/2007/black_books There's still a few audition times available, so if you're interested please contact me either at melissamerchant@aapt.net.au or on 0404913018.

Where's the Love?

Where exactly did I leap to Melissa or Blak Yak's defence? You mean the bit where I pointed out some facts about the the successful auditionees in the last production? Um...that's kinda irrefutable. I tried to find fault with Blak Yak believe me - I was one of the unsuccessful auditionees - but dammit, their credentials were in order on this one. And besides, if you read my post it was not really motivated by any need to defend Blak Yak (am I actually a member Melissa?). I really just thought some of the arguments lacked balance and I thought the attack on Bryn's acting was in particular rude and cruel Karen (is that your real name?). Daniel put forward some constructive feedback but your comment was uncalled for. If I called you, for example, a "hit and run forum anarchist" (which I'm not)on the basis of two posts, would you not take offence at that? That'd be just plain rude. Irregardless of whose partner I may be I'll be damned if I'll sit by and not say something where I strenuously disagree. Capiche? Check out Daniel's posts. Inquisitive, questioning, POLITE, well balanced arguments. You didn't see me leap to Blak Yak's defence then did you? Perhaps you and "Brad" could be a little more prepared when you enter a debate instead of just flinging dirt in such a scattergun manner? I for one would love to know why you both felt you're entitled to be so rude and expect to get away with it? Fie on you. Melissa, our secret's out, someone's noticed we're always at gig's together. Damn their eyes
