Hi all A few of us have got together to create a social club called Little Theatres WA. So far the ideas for our social club are: To have a set outing every two weeks to somewhere all ages can attend to. To have a Social Club house for everyone to go to on certain days of the week. To have a safe enviroment to have fun relax and catch up with theatre friends To put on fun fund raising events for the Club, such as skits, dances, sausage sizzels, and well anything fun we can think of. Lastly to bring all the little theatres together so we can learn from eachother and encourage eachother to grow and have greater shows. Our main website is http://www.myspace.com/littletheatres We would love to get more people on our committee so if you would like to join add us on myspace. Thankyou for you time Melissa Thorburn

Nothing Ventured.... Nothing Gained

"Macca's Sponsorship" ... not such a silly idea.... They advertise themselves as being community minded and they certainly seem to deliver the goods in other areas such as local sporting groups and emergency/hospice housing, so why not for Community Theatre?

Lord knows, enough performers use them to supplement their diet and their "theatrical income". How often have we seen the T-shirt slogan "I'm a proffesional actor...Would you like fries with that?" or heard the adage - You know your in Amatuer Theatre when your child says:"Can we NOT have Macca's for tea tonight?"

Jokes aside, I agree with what Norma said about "bringing little theatres together so we can all learn" being the job of the ITA, but as I understand it, your group is not intended to be a breakaway from that but an outlet for the more "social" aspects of the theatre world and in that I wish you all the best in your venture. I still feel that yours is a good idea, but I fear you may be hampered by your location, petrol prices being what they are... but on the other hand, if we can expect Mandurians to travel to Perth, why should the reverse not be likewise expected?
