Dispatch from MEAA re. Effies
Thu, 2 Sept 1999, 10:43 pmJust received the following missive from Steve Shaw, Secretary of the Media Entertainment and Arts Alliance (used to be Actors Equity). I'll be posting the info Steve writes about.>Hello Grant,>>Thank you for your email. Getting straight to the point, please, go right ahead and post these items to your site. Any interest that can be generated in this debate will be of enormous benefit. Iam preparing another press release assault and will pass that on.>>I began my performing career as an amateur performer with Northam's Link Theatre and as such have always viewed the amateur theatres as the most significant of feeder streams into our professional ranks. There would not be one professional who has not had some direct contact with an amateur background..>>I have taken the line with our members to not be afraid to run with a balanced yet emotional argument. The reason being that Foss can always manipulate any argument that is centred around figures. He will have huge trouble dealing with people who generally feel completely insulted by his total lack of understanding and appreciation of their craft.>>Thanks for your interest.>>Steve Shaw>Secretary>MEAA Perth.>Anyone from Northam remember Steve's first steps on the boards? :)CheersGrant
