Ten Quid cancelled

I must disagree with Maljo. Firstly, as an actor, my payment comes mostly from my involvement in a show, especially if it challenges me as an artist, and helps me improve my craft. Audience appreciation is a plus. My least favourite part of the night is meeting the audience after the show. Secondly, and a club committee member, I can say that we, as clubs, are well aware that certain shows will draw audiences, certain shows will attract actors, and some will do both. The club, as the producer, needs to find a balance of shows that attract an audience, and shows that provide an interest to actors. It is true that some actors only want to be in shows that guarantee big audience numbers, but there are also those actors who want to be involved in a project for purely selfish (and I don't use this in a negative way) reasons. This is the difference between those who want to be stars, and those who are actors. www.meltheco.org.au
