KWINANA THEATRE UNDER THREAT!!
Sun, 29 Oct 2000, 09:26 pmEvery Theatre group's dream is to have their own home!
Why is it then that after 30 years KTW seems to be losing theirs.
KTW was enticed to move from their lovely digs in Atkinson Road to the now Kwinana Arts Centre on the proviso that they would have no less than they already had. For ten years this has been working perfectly, now it would seem KTW is faced with Arts Centre and Council indifference. Why are so many obstacles being thrown in their way in regards to the new lease agreement.
It would appear that the almighty dollar is greater than the community spirit of the Theatre. Over the years KTW has shown the quality of its productions through winning many awards. Most recently the Bunbury Festival Award for "Chinamen" and the oustanding production of "Too Far To Walk" which has been invited to present at the Finlay Awards. It would be a shame to see a theatre such as KTW be disbanded through greed of the almighty dollar...surely KTW is what community theatre is all about!

Gary and Mike,
My comment was not intended to be an attack and I sincerely apologise for offending you and anyone else I have upset. My comment was not intended to be an attack.
I was referring to a discussion some of us had on this site a few months back regarding my thoughts on merging groups where resources were a problem eg: a club who has lost their venue but has all the trimmings could unite with a group who had a venue but no trimmings to form a bigger, possibly better club. Most people disagreed with me but I still believe it makes perfect sense and I haven't been convinced that this is not worthy of a try in some, but definately not all, cases. Hearing that another group was possibly going to lose a venue only spurred me to put in my two cents worth again.
I promise you that I was in no way saying that any theatre group was less worthy and I fully support KTW in their fight to keep their theatre. I assure you that I am not an idiot but I will take more care with the way I express my ideas and opinions from now on.
