rehearsal venues plea
Sat, 26 Aug 2000, 02:54 pmJust putting the word out that Blak Yak are looking for a rehearsal venue for their latest production. We need somewhere fairly central (although that's negotiable) and cheap (that's not negotiable). If you know of anywhere, or have somewhere like that yourself, please please please either reply to this plea, email me on the above address or call me on:
041 799 4544.
Much appreciated.

Mon, 11 Sept 2000, 02:09 am...... and another thing, re being sympathetic about surviving on minimal funding:
most Community Theatre groups have managed to survive thus far on NO funding (bar the odd handout from Lotteries - maximum $3000 providing they can match the amount, & fill in all the paperwork, & don't ask again for at least 3 years), thus not costing the taxpayer anything in order to pursue their hobby ... a far cry from the sporting/leisure industries world!
Most Community Theatre is produced on a what the commercial world would consider a less than shoestring budget, with the hope that there'll be enough profits to produce the next season - sometimes the problems overcome are what serves to cement that sense of Community (membership of a group working together to achieve a dream/goal or whatever); sometimes it all threatens to become just a bit too hard, especially when commercially oriented bodies like many Local Councils (not all - some have been quite helpful) seem to place no value whatsoever on their achievements as a part of the wider community; as far as I know, we have yet to see a ticker tape parade or a Council reception for the winning Drama Festival or Finley Award team!!!!
Faint, but ever hopeful Cheers, Barb Z
