Oh no, I'm rising to a troll's bait...
Tue, 4 Jan 2011, 12:16 pmThanks for a thought-provoking opinion. However; I do prefer comments that are as nasty as this one to be a little less anonymous.
I take it that you didn't like Fiddler on the Roof?
Anyway, it's kind of gratifying that Old Mill is now seen as a tall poppy. It's true that we've worked very hard in the past few years to earn a bit of respect in the theatre community, and we're very proud that we were at the forefront of nominations and awards over the past couple of years. Up until then, the 5 nominations we received this years (spanning 3 out of our 5 productions) would have been seen as a major triumph.
We're obviously on the right track if 2010 was viewed by some as a disappointment - it certainly isn't seen that way by us at Old Mill. Let's face it... the community theatre scene in WA is a very strong one. An 'average' production is still good quality theatre, and something has to be pretty special to be recognised on awards night.
Hopefully we'll continue on the right track in 2011 with the kind of consistency that has led to 13 of our last 16 productions earning at least one Finley nomination. More importantly, hopefully our audiences will feel confident that they are going to have a good night when they come to our theatre.
Actually, even more importantly than that, I'm hoping that the community at large will realise more and more that productions hosted by Old Mill, and other community theatres around Perth, are a bloody good standard - and that it's very rare nowadays for an amateur production to be 'amateurish'....
...and that our theatre community is a community that they might want to be a part of, or at least visit from time to time... hmmm... not sure that Walter-Over-The-Egos's post is going to help...
