This is an amateur/community theatre production!

I believe that if you get amateur rights you MUST put a variant of this on your publicity. Scuttlebut has told me that someone in Perth has been rapped over the knuckles about this only in the last couple of months. You can make a good case to omit it if it is fairly obvious: e.g. if a comapny was called "Seville Grove Amateur Theatre Group" I think they could justify NOT also having "This is an amateur production" on their posters. On a variant note: I pointed out what I thought was an error on Mandurah B&B poster only to be told that, no, that is what they were required to print... blah blah blah's production of Disney's "Disney's Beauty and the Beast" Made no sense to me then, makes no sense to me now :-)
