7.30pm or 8.00pm Curtain Up
Thu, 3 Sept 2009, 09:42 amIt appears that the majority of Community Theatre productions start at 8.00pm, whereas professional and pro/am (eg Les Mis) productions and others such as WAAPA start at 7.30pm. I was just curious as to why this might be the case. For myself, I prefer the earlier start, it means I am on my way home or to a party after the show at a more reasonable hour. More time in the bar after the show also if that's your thing. I am new to Perth and would be interested in comments from others on this. Cheers!
Just to confim

On the other hand when we have done a show at which we can expect a lot of childrenin the audience, 7.30 is generally the preferred time.
