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????

The MD of this show was invited to help the club out at the last minute when the pre organise MD had to leave due to other committments.
Her brief was to teach the songs to the cast whilst the director was away. She was happy to do this as it fitted quite nicely into her extremely busy schedule.
She has also been given the option to come back closer to the show and polish up anything that needs it.
In future make sure you have the facts before you post a forum.
I am happy to talk to you about the show and the way we work at any time.
