finley nominations for musicals.

Same bullshit different year. Toughen up ya bloody pack of princesses! In a month you'll all bitch again after the awards. In two months you'll all be over it, and bitching about who didn't get cast in which play or musical. In twelve months you be bitching about the noms for this adjudication year. And I defy anyone off the top of their head (ie without reference to this site) to name the winner of best play and musical from 5 years ago. I'd say a large majority wouldn't remember, much less care. I'm more worried about global warming, the floods in Queensland, WA's dwindling water supplies, and such like before I give a damn about who didn't get what in the nominations for the Finley's This year I organised a memorial trophy for my dear friend Sue that passed away for Best Director of a play for the Finley's. I should have had to get in line in the fight to do it, but I wasn't.... because of the high degree of selfishness and meanness of spirit that seems to be growing in the theatre community more and more each year. Well,I am sick of it. Go crawl under your rock if you can't handle rejection and failure, which in case you haven't worked out, is a fact of life. Life is not fair, get over it! You'd think you were on multi million dollar salaries the way some of you carry on. Well you aren't, you are just plain old everyday people that happen to do theatre for the love of it, so; some of you may have professional ambitions, fine, but just remember there are a lot of extremely talented performers out there on the dole, or working in other professions because its the biggest "chew em up and spit em out" industry on the planet. Grow up and get a freakin life, start looking past your own blinkered outlook, and start learning a little bit of breadth of spirit. Here's a new years resolution for you to try, start celebrating other peoples successes, and stop running other peoples efforts down, because you truly show what kind of human being you are by behaving otherwise. To Kerri, Ryan, Paul, Kimberley, Norma, and everyone else that pulls their finger out and gives something back to the theatre coummunity in Perth year in and year out in the face of constant denigration and criticism from a pack of inplacable pigs that you lot can be sometimes, deserve a bloody medal for putting up with it year in and year out. While we are on the subject, there are a lot of people that have worked to keep out theatres running year in and year out, and they are getting older and tired, and if we don't start having more younger people to come forward and help, a lot of theatres will start to close their doors, which means no shows being put on, which means no more awards. Serve you all bloody right too if it happens. Happy New Year R.
