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.

I have read with interest this continuing saga, and I still don't know why the Understudies were sacked.
Was their performance so bad ?
If so who determined that ? .... the Director .... the Producer ... the Principal actors that Understudies were performing for ..... the Public .... who ?
I am right in assuming that the Understudies did rehearse their respective roles, and were given direction, and that the Director was happy with their performances.
I am sure we all have attended plays (both professional, and Amateur) where lines get dropped, props don't work as they should, lighting mishaps. These are things that do happen, and will always happen.
One thing I have learnt from this is to steer well clear of any so called Pro-Am productions .... I am firmly of the belief that if anyone is paid to perform either off-stage, or on-stage in a production then all get paid.
I still remember Joe the Marloo's Theatre cat taking up residence on-stage during the King's death scene.
