Do you enjoy playing the piano? Are you a good piano player? Would you like to play for the musical OLIVER? KTW are in desperate need of a pianist for their upcoming production of Oliver. We have exhausted all our avenues and was hoping that someone out there could help us or point us in another direction. At this stage we are not able to offer payment but this could be relooked at. Please contact the Director/MD Cat Baxter on 0409 110 704 (after 4pm) of alternatively kittycat.1@optusnet.com.au

Did I say 'Crap'? No I did not. Did I say resource challenged? I'm pretty sure that is what I implied. Did I say that there were no musos who would do it for no pay? No I did not. Did I indicate that they were 'hard to find.' I think that was the idea.

Your point about having someone capable is in large true of ALL genres, not just Musicals. Yet if we (as in the royal 'We') were to never do any show (Drama, Musical, Shakespeare, etc) unless we had someone capable, then I think there would be very little theatre at all.

People do it because they want to, which in a way makes the whole arguement rather mute. No matter how valid your statement may or may not be, no-one will ever be able to stop others from utlimately dong what they Want to do. So we could bandy back and forth about it for years to come, I doubt that things are going to change. People will keep on doing musicals, comedies, alternate, whatever because they want to do it.

Hey, you are entitled to your opinion and (don't get me wrong) I have no desire to deny you, or anyone else that right. My personal opinion is that your point of view is perhaps a little to unforgiving for the industry your are addressing. Community Theatre is a chance for people to experience, learn and develop skills, as well as find a little enjoyment.
