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.

Sat, 30 Oct 2004, 12:15 amYeah, those actors should've signed something. They were asking for it. That'll teach them to lend their talent and time to a charity and to believe an agreement should be honoured. Those fools. It's a tough industry out there and if you can't handle the vicious cut'n'thrust of fundraising musical theatre, get out of the freakin' kitchen.
Now then, you wretched rabble that were justifiably upset at being shafted and all you other naive people who were supporting them (next you'll be saying that unfair dismissal laws should be abolished...oh, wait a minute...), just shut the f*ck up about how crappily treated those actors were, otherwise all those BIG CORPORATE SPONSORS with BUCKETS OF MONEY who were going to bankroll ALL of Perth's community theatre will change their minds! That's right. They'll think when they offer a discount on poster printing or perhaps donate some paint for the set, that it won't give them a right to sack the cast if the recipient theatres' production of Lipstick Dreams isn't up to their exacting and informed standards...
When will you people listen to reason? must all of community theatre suffer for the sake of a whingeing majority who don't like seeing their friends and fellow theatre-types being treated shabbily?
