Theatre Etiquette - Multiple Shows?

While browsing through the many bulletins and threads i had a quick read through this one. Man, I thought...this story sounds familiar. The more I read, the more I felt like I knew Meercat's story. Then when it started to get really meaty and the name of the involved company and play was revealed...well low and behold - it was my production. So naturally, I read on. And although it seems that the argument has been addressed repeatedly and that the initial thread subject has been well and truly side-tracked, i feel the need to put in my 2 cents, as a person who, besides Meercat, can give an informed opinion on the work of the MD. Having participated in very minimal theatre productions, i must admit that the help we received, to me, seemed normal. However, this is the opinion of someone who's last production was quite a few years ago...in grade 7 in fact, where we sang along to a backing tape with vocals included. (and for the record, we thought we rocked!) The exact directions and advice we received have already been outlined, so I do not need to repeat this information, more reassure any sceptical readers that this information is correct! But, the purpose of my comment was not to point the finger, or evaluate the work of our MD. The sole reasoning for my comment is to, as they say "have a hommies back", which is important, as has been expressed previously, in this thread by two very passionate members of our community who, (hypocritically, as she is a very VALUABLE member of the theatre community) decided to attack Meercat for her contribution to this thread, which clearly, has been pushed well off track. The production will be opening in a matter of days and it seems that the situation has resolved and I look forward to being a member of a great, lively cast. And, I quote... "Are you ready Bowlers?"
