Sun, 22 June 2008, 09:22 am"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?
