Am i a friend? I don't think you're being a conservative old grump.

Or, perhaps i'm one too?

New youth theatre companies appear to spring up with astonishing regularity and - as i believe Amanda suggested elsewhere - perform a couple of shows and then die as the prime movers burn out.

i think there's a great deal to be said for linking with some existing, established company - not least for the experience and financial resources that they may be able to bring to bear.

On the other hand, i wonder how many companies would extend a welcoming hand, clutching a sizable cheque, to kickstart a production featuring the talents of a group of predominantly younger performers? No strings attached.

There are lots of companies, but perhaps not so many enlightened ones.

Cheers
Grant
