EMAILNOTICES>noHas anyone actually thought that the reason Effie Crump closed and is not being bailed out is because their productions are not all that good? Every so often one works but the rest... they might be employing actors and local scripts but if the production is up to shite, then why bother?

I have been reading everyones comments with interest....i think if Effie wanted to 'survive' they would....maybe they wouldn't get paid for a while - is that so bad??? There are a lot of people that dont' get paid and put in an awful lot of work....maybe Effie needs to go back to 'grass roots'?? start afresh, work up and become a company again that CAN be paid for their work?? Could it be that simple??Dunno, but it makes sence to me....i see theatre companies survive, put on shows with zilch in the bank....and every one does it for love....sure it's great to be paid...(i know i would like to -oneday)Anyway...maybe its just too simplistic...Teri...
