Someone mentioned how there were 7 community shows on last week in Perth. This week nothing new.

This site has a very good 'Whats on' section, why don't groups pencil in a date that they are considering months ahead, as this will stop duplication of identical shows - sometimes on in the same week. They could always put (pencil in) at the end of the play title.

I picked up a leaflet promoting a show in a couple of months and as yet it hasn't been listed on 'Whats on'. If you want to get the best audiences and as little competition as possible, please plan ahead.

Sure there is plenty of time to go see the shows...

However as Gordon pointed out it makes it hard for the actors, crew and directors (who in community theatre generally attend every performance of their own show) to make it out to see everyone else's plays. Could the different clubs share their proposed schedules (not of specific plays but season dates) at the presidents meeting? Surely the club is usually aware of when their seasons will be and how many if not a hundred percent certain on the shows. Of course, Fringe had millions of shows all on at once, and in the same place. And the crowds flocked to see shows, most of them selling out irregardless of the play or company.
