Point of interest
Mon, 25 Jan 2010, 08:06 pmAll the hoo-haa about "paid/professional" etc is never going to go away.... sorry, but that is a given as long as jealousy features in theatre... but we all know that there is NONE of that in OUR Community...*coff*
Anyway... point of interest.... Has anyone bothered to ask a "Pro" director why they would want to work in community theatre with all it's budgetry constraints, rehearsals missing actors due to kids/work/parties, "quaint" venues, the "I'm sorry ... I can't make it on such & such date....", the knowledge that the people are "volunteers" rather than "professionals" and one cannot blow ones stack at them or they will run home in tears... and all the other problems associated with it?
I have... and the answer took me somewhat by surprise.
It's simply the freedom.
They can do the shows they WANT to do, with the people THEY choose from auditionees, theplays/musicals they ENJOY doing instead of having to bow, scrape, b*tt-kiss and cow-tow to the whims of financiers/producers/megabuck entreprenuers that run professional theatre.
Why do professional people get involved in amatuer shows??
FOR THE LOVE OF IT!!
..... the same reason as you or I....
Don't they deserved to be treated the same?
