Is it me, or is there a lack of theatre companies in the Fremantle area that are dedicated to musical theatre??

It is especially hard adjusting from a school environment where most or all characters are under 18.

If there is anyone out there who is interested in creating a youth musical theatre company (by the youth and for the youth), in the Fremantle, please contact me.

Cheers!!

RE: Youth Musical Theatre

Myself, like other youths in theatre, would be happy to help out if one was going to be established. But another thing I have noticed is that near my area (cockburn) there are no, and I repeat, NO theatre companies in this area apart from Fremantle, Roleystone, Perth and Rockingham/Kwinana and travelling, as a youth, gets the better of me and my parents and consequently I am 'kept out' of theatre unless something close by comes along or until it has been a considerable amount of time since my last production. I would really like to see a theatre company set up in this area that can accomodate the youth, if not all ages. Melville theatre is near by but I have noticed that the casts consist mainly of mid-late 20's upwards, and nothing for the youth. If someone knows of a company that fits the bill then PLEASE let me know. In the time being, I'll just continue praying.

Cheers
Alan
