Bad Dream - a rock opera. The amatuer theatre blog

Over the last 18 months I have been pushing hard to get my rock opera, Bad Dream up. I had a producer for about 9 months who disappeared two months before we were due to begin workshops. Extremely disappointed but you live, you learn and you move on. The last half of the year saw me have surgery, break a bone and then crack a couple of others which took the wind out of my sails and I decided to focus on 2011. However, during this time I did approach many Amatuer Theatre companies via email, mail and then email again. I sent out information packages about Bad Dream and I have not heard back from any of them. I am beginning to think that our fabulous AM companies are only there for actors and not for writers and are only interested in rehashing old works. I haven't given up but I really don't think there is any place for new dramatic musicals, especially home grown rock opera's in amateur groups. Sadly, I think I was wasting my time trying to contact them. So for now it's back to plotting and planning my 2011 ! www.stevenguy.biz/page3.html Cheers Steve
