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????

As yet ANOTHER cast member of Robin The Hood, i would like to start by saying that we are into our 2nd week of a 3 week run and despite the incompetance(my opinion only) of our short lived M.D, we can be proud of the work we've produced.I would just like to add my support to everything Meerkat,Player and ClienT have said in regards to this particular M.D. And i would like to specifically say to Mr and Mrs JW and EM BOSCH that it would be unlikely that all four of us happend to have a personality clash with the person you so loyally defended, without having been present for any of it. The entire cast ends every vocal warm up(yet another cast members idea) with a MEERKAT chant, which goes well with the MEERKAT calender(2 more cast members input)so if it was a personality clash, it was with at least 16 of the cast of 20. Anyone with half a brain would know this is unlikely,bottom line is obvious and i know 16 people who will choose not to be put through that torture again.As for the Directer,stage manager and KTW in general, it has been a pleasure working with them. Our show isn't the greatest, but we are finally having fun, so come along and have a laugh. Wow, that was long winded, are we at the after party yet? MEERKAT! MEERKAT! MEERKAT!
