Walter Plinge
I appreciate the intelligent and well thought-out replies, with the exception of Walter Over-the-Egos - whose claims about Tevye and Golde's lack of chemistry and 'intense dislike' of each other are unfounded. And, honestly, not everyone is in theatre to have their ego stroked. Many people have worked exceptionally hard on productions this year, giving up free time and other pursuits to make sure theatre lovers - and dare I say it, adjudicators - adore the show, which is probably the main source of disappointment when a nomination is denied. But hey, you win some, you lose some. It's not much different to that heart-sinking sensation many (if not most) young WAAPA hopefuls experience upon working for months on their audition pieces for the one annual opportunity that they get to try and earn a place, only to be denied even a callback. Eh, it happens. If they gave everyone a callback it would take another half a year. The same goes for the Finleys, which as one of you aptly put it, are only really able to highlight the standouts of the standouts. Anyway, I'm not here for the flame wars. The only thing to take away from this is that we can look forward to WA community theatre companies working hard to give us a reason to keep loving what our talented, passionate and hardworking locals have to offer - and not just for the sake of getting an award.
