Is theatre being taken over by youth?
Mon, 17 Sept 2001, 08:45 pmwhat is everyones opinion?
is the youth of the country/world taking over theatre?
more youth companys are being formed, more young people are comming to auditions, more young people are comming to shows.
by youth, i mean 14-19.
should young people stay out of the theatre scene? do they not belong in the theatre, or should people welcome them with open arms??
just something i was thinking about.

Mon, 17 Sept 2001, 11:07 pmI think Youth should be welcomed with open arms - they after all are the future!! Who is going to carry on if we don't encourage youth in theatre world? It would die out and be no more!!!
Of course there are only so many roles they can fill, depending on the play/musical that is being produced, but even so they should not be turned away if they are "too young" they should be encouraged to be involved in all aspects of theatre, as it's the youth who will one day also be the techie's of the theatre scene, and by encouraging them now, it will make sure that theatre will still be alive and well in the future!!!
As to the recent "growth" in youth theatre company's, I think it's fantastic that they are getting out there and doing it all themselves, they should be commended as it is not an easy job. It also gives younger people the chance to work with people of their own age, if they don't feel comfortable in being involved with an older, established company where they might not get as many chances to be actively involved. Not saying that any company would say "no" to new, enthusiastic members - am I right? Because no theatre company can survive without people wanting to willing get in there and do the work or at least learn somethng new!!! But it just gives them a chance!!!
Well this is just my opinion anyways, and, like Amanda, I would love to hear other people's views on this subject.
