Just a thought...
Sat, 11 Sept 1999, 02:29 pmEMAILNOTICES>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?

Tue, 14 Sept 1999, 12:30 pm> So why do people on this site constantly refer to professional theatre, as > distinct from any other?Or for that matter refer to community theatre as distinct from any other?I believe the best community theatre frequently compares very favourably with what is staged by our professional companies.But to say that because, from an audience's point of view, community and professional theatre are occasionally indistinguishable from each other, that they are one and the same is to confuse the issue. I believe they are different. Not opposite, just different.Pro and am are not two sides of the same coin rather they are arbitrary points on a continuum of performance standards and conditions. At one end you have lower standard productions and unpaid performers, at the other end excellent quality productions and fully paid companies and all the colours of the rainbow in between.CheersGrant
