Serious news
Thu, 18 Nov 1999, 11:34 amI heard some very sad and serious news recently from a local theatre company.
I don't think it is my position to post it here, particularly as i understand the company concerned have delayed making the information public so as not to upset some members.
But i wish they'd hurry up and do so! I'm sure they'd garner a great deal of support from visitors to this site.
So... *anonymous people* are you able to tell us any news as yet?
Cheers

Who's serving who?

DRPAC belongs to the community not Starlight. They have a responsibility to manage that resource so that it is available to the community and that includes the resident community theatre company. The onus should be on the management company to reach a satisfactory agreement with your company, not vice versa.
hehe... so, i'll bet you're glad i wasn't there during negotiations ;)
It may well pay to check Gosnells' business and strategic plans. I know that the City of Canning includes a statement to the effect that halls are provided for the private and social use of the community and that commercial usage is secondary to this.
If Gosnells has a similar statement, it would be interesting to survey the percentage of usage at DRPAC that is non-commercial.
Why the sudden change of heart from Starlight management?
Are Starligit only deigning to keep you there so that they can present adequate occupancy figures to council? How long before they have enough commercial hirers that they don't need you in there any more?
mmmm..... :/
