Help Please

I'll bite to this one then - do you understand the spirit of Community Theatre? It is because it is not professional. It is community and as thus allows people of all walks to have a go. Quality Musical Directors and Musicians often require payment and that is something that Community Theatre (in general) just cannot do. It lives off the back of volunteers - people doing it because they love it enough to not want to get paid or (let's be honest) they are either not interested or skilled enough for professional gigs. Does that mean that musicals are looked down upon?

I personally think not. The fact that people want to do them, see them and participate in musicals means to me that we highly regard Musicals and enjoy them. Just because we cannot afford to pay someone "professionally" is simply the nature of the scene of Community Theatre.

Those who do Musicals do so because they 'adore the genre' just as much if not than yourself.
