15 year old requires acting job

I agree. I have repeatedly mentioned on this site (and other theatre sites) about the necessity of providing an 'answer' page, so that there aren't so many posts and so that we don't have to constantly answer them.

As for joining those websites, I also agree. But like many of the aspiring people posting on this site, you first have to know they exist. I spend a lot of my time searching on the net, and over the years have collected a lot of sites that I refer to. But it has taken time, and quite often I stumble onto something by chance or because someone else has told me about it.

And you know, maybe the reason there is no conversation (as I was trying to point out before) is because professionals have gotten so tired of answering these questions. It is not a one-sided thing, conversation. And if we could just take a few minutes of our time to explain politely why these statements should not be made so constantly, we could be providing a necessary step to guiding people in the right direction. The posts may be statements, but aren't they really showing us how this industry works, and how we can make it better?

And there's so much theatre out there that is self-created, co-op and fringe. This site is an excellent way of finding out what's happening in both the amateur and the professional world. (Not that this is the best site for finding professional work, but that is not the point...)

Can't we all stop bitching and complaining about this and just help each other instead?
