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 am aware of a similar
Tue, 23 Oct 2007, 03:00 pmI am aware of a similar situation where people are encouraged to perform rather than to not. As I've been looking at courses lately I found that a perk, rather than some of the bigger courses where NO you cannot do a show at the same time as a course.
Just think a course can be three years long- is it not good as well to get experience outside of the course with different people as well?
People I know that have been in these 'no productions outside of courses' have also appeared in other productions...I guess limiting it is kind of hard.
