Consequences
Mon, 25 Oct 2004, 01:56 pmIts time to stop! Now. The amateur theatre community is doing itself possibly irreparable long term harm. I have been trying to secure sponsorship of the annual Finley Awards and have just taken a phone call from the people IÂ’ve been working with, to the effect of why would they want to get involved with that sort of back biting and viciousness, as who on earth would want to take the risk of being mixed up with that sort of publicity.

Greg. The harm was not caused by the amateur theatre community, and in any event, the said theatre community cops enough punishment as a matter of day-to-day survival that I reckon it's resilient enough to ride this tiny wave out.
If you are talking about the wave of support and solidarity the community of performers has been expressing against a production house which has seemed to prove incompetent and exploitative, then I personally pray it does NOT stop, but is remembered and continues.
Ask yourself where the viciousness and backstabbing really started; and then ask your potential sponsors if they only realize just how much GOOD word of mouth would be generated by this amateur community toward a company that treated them WELL.
Cheers
Craig
