Its time to stop! Now. The amateur theatre community is doing itself possibly irreparable harm. I have been trying to secure sponsorship of the annual Finley Awards and have just taken a phone call from the people IÂ’ve been working with, to the effect of why would they want to get involved with that sort of back biting and viciousness, as who on earth would want to take the risk of being mixed up with that sort of publicity.

Gee Greg, by posting this same message in two different forums, you obviously felt the need for me to refute you twice! I hope I don't make you feel twice as misguided?

Not sure who you are referring to here, Stuart?
"The people involved"...is this a reference to the MS Society, who in your opinion are not to be considered part of the Perth amateur theatre community..?

Or are you continuing Greg's notion that the non-cast members making their opinions heard here are not welcome to..?

As far as my personal involvement, you are right. I am not technically a part of the Perth amateur theatre community, being a card-carrying professional of some 17 years.
But I have an opinion. I have made some observations. I have listened to others. And I think Greg's possible sponsors could do no worse than to observe the fierce passion and loyalty displayed by members of this forum, and to realize that any support and respect they found themselves able to offer the amateur theatre community through the Finley's would be reflected back toward them with that same passion and loyalty.

I don't see the harm.

Cheers,
Craig
