I need an acting carrer!

First of all, I don't believe amateur theatre is below me. I simply believe it is a different environment and community than professional theatre.

Secondly, the event on my page was listed by request from one of my subscribers - I happen to like my subscribers, and want to help them in any way I can. I will happily promote their shows - but I do not place amateur auditions/job ads into my zine, for the pure reason that it does not help my subscribers get paid, long-term work in theatre.

And why am I here? Because sadly enough, this site is one of the very few places online for Aussie theatre people to chat about theatre issues. I like to read up on the latest events, and not visiting this site would make me very ignorant of the theatre industry as a whole. To produce a zine, or to work in any industry, you must be able to understand its needs, wants, people, and culture. Hard to do, when you don't read other sites.

This is also a perfect place to advertise the zine, as most people involved in theatre know this site much better than others, and regularly post here. - This is pure marketing I know, but I have been posting on this site much longer than I have been running the zine.

Finally - I like stirring things up. If you don't like me fine. But I still managed to get you to visit my site and check my publication out. Most wouldn't even bother...

... Some of my fondest memories of theatre is in amateur. I remember learning with Camberwell Theatre Company, and doing a short stint for Hartwell. But the best performances for me are co-ops with friends...
