The 2008 Finleys, boy do we have some surprises!!
Mon, 12 Jan 2009, 04:13 pmThe 2008 Finleys promise to be the best yet, already they're causing a stir and getting some people really excited. Let's face it whatever happens its a great dress up night, time to chat, socialise and clap until your hands are sore.... it's a time to congratulate those lucky few who have got an award to treasure for years to come, because on the night they did really well and excelled, something those of us who are serious about Community Theatre will always strive to do, whether we win an award or not.
See you there at the Lady Wardle Performing Arts Centre, St Mary's Anglican Girl School, Elliott Rd, Karrinyup on Saturday January 17, 2009 doors open 6pm for a 7pm start.

Jeff, I saw you in one of
Wed, 14 Jan 2009, 07:05 pmJeff, I saw you in one of the two shows you did last year and let me assure you, you were NOT crap. Far from it, in fact, and you are firmly on my list of people I'd like to work with one of these days. I actually thought you probably would indeed pick up a nomination, but you didn't and that's all there is to it. I didn't get one this year either, but I feel the same about it as you do. I don't do what I do because I want to win awards, for goodness' sake! Anybody who does is doing it for the wrong reasons.
It is nice to receive awards, of course, but I get just as much pleasure out of seeing others recognised for their efforts, especially if I'd witnessed their performances and agreed that they were pretty special. Of course there are always going to be many who miss out. That's just a fact of life that we all have to accept. And I suppose there are always going to be those disgruntled souls who just can't accept it.
You watch, NEXT year we'll see the same sort of anonymous sniping as we're seeing here this year . . . and that we saw LAST year. Perhaps that's just another fact of life that we all have to accept - just the usual inconsequential dross that's better ignored.
I'm looking forward to a great night out on Saturday. See you there!
