Professional Venue VS Community Theatre Company
Wed, 28 Nov 2007, 12:32 pmSome interesting variations in the state of WA. Quick queston:
"Is it still community theatre when performed in a professional location?"
*Example:
Established amateur community theatre group
Have their own facility/theatre
Book a professional venue (eg Burswood or Regal)
Put on a musical production (eg Beauty and the Beast)
Charge professional ticket pricing ($60 - $100 +)
Maintain all funds/profit for amateur community group
Is this still Community Theatre?
Should it still be judged as community theatre?
Should it be judged against other community theatres?
Should it be permitted to enter community theatre awards (Finley etc..)
Just trying to get my head around the different set up here than in NSW. I look forward to your thoughts.

This thread is dealing a slightly more specific avenue than previous ones. In a sense it is further refining the line between the two....
