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????
Aint I smarter than a Meerkat

I am one of the Senior Meerkats in this instance (that is an elder of the Robin the Hood cast)
This thread has been most entertaining on so many levels. My mind is picturing a few meerkats going head to head with claws sharpening.
My mind also pictured some healthy discussion which is also great for the mind, body and spirit.
I think the most important lesson for all is that life goes on and there are far more important things in life than what happens before the curtain opens.
For me there is an old motor racing adage of when the green flag drops the bullshit stops.
I think that is what the cast have done in this instance.
THE SHOW MUST GO ON and every person that pays their hard earned to see the show deserves the best that we can give them.
I don't think I have ever been a production where there is not some drama behind the scenes (hence plays like PLAY ON existing)
So thank you one and all for some controversy. I do think it has put a few bums on seats and well may we rock in the final four shows.
Ladies, Gentlemen and those not sitting on a cushion KTW brings to you the sometimes controversial, but always entertaining ROBIN THE HOOD
Have a great xmas one and all and most importantly a fantastic 2008. May you all get all that you deserve.
(For those who know the production it is the wicked one BAD KING JOHN)
