Theatre Etiquette - Multiple Shows?
Fri, 19 Oct 2007, 01:17 pmJust wondering what everyones opinion is on taking on more than one show at a time in community theatre?
Examples:
A Director or Musical Director taking on two projects and then splitting their time between the two (OR neglecting one in favour of the other!)
A leading actor accepting a role in another production then having to divide their time between roles.
My opinion is that you need to commit to one project, so that you can make the best show you can and put all your effort into it. It always seems that others have to pick up the slack for those that accept more than they can handle?
Just my opinion and I am interested to hear what others think, as it seems a lot of people now have more than one project going at once. I cant imagine doing this, as once Im in a show - I can only think about one role, one set of songs, one set of dances and so on????
I think he left strict

I think he left strict instructions on what was required - and the stage manager to oversee the progress.
We kept him up to date with the progree, or lack of, as he was overseas. I believe she just wasnt commited and did not really care how it turned out. Even with the Stage manager and others asking for more feedback and instruction other than "Its easy" and "It will be ok"!
It is unfortunate - because Im sure if he wasnt overseas we could have fixed things sooner - but as she told him she had it all organised no one thought it would get to this point.
The positive thing that has come out of this though - is that the cast is now banding together to get the most out of the next few weeks and put on the best show we can.
