Wanted: Amateur Drama Group in Sydney?
Thu, 1 Feb 2001, 07:02 pmI want to join a casual type of amateur drama group that meets about once a week or so, to have some fun, do the occasional production, and generally just enjoy drama... I can't seem to find such a thing in Sydney - can anyone help pls??

You think there are out of work professionals in Sydney? Why do you think the "non-professional" scene in Perth is so strong?

From my brief time in Sydney i'd second this. As Gill has suggested in another thread, persistance and a measure of luck often appear more significant than any amount of talent, skill or experience.
But that's really the same wherever you are. I think when there is an active network supporting the local industry (such as in Perth and Melbourne), less persistance and luck may be required and the last three attributes have a more and better opportunities to shine through.
