Walking Out Of Performances at interval.

Ah, I never moan about one audience member, just lots. I was, however, only defending my comrades. I understand about the need to please the audience, but I've been pleasing the audience for the last four years. I like doing something a little different. But that matter aside, which is probably where it should stay, as far as youth goes, wow what a broad generalisation, don't write them off as easily as that. You could be missing out on some of the most talented actors in Perth that way. Yes, a lot of soul searching goes on, but I know 35 - 40 year olds who are also doing a lot of soul searching. In fact, in my experience, it has been the older actors in a cast who proved unreliable. It seems in a lot of cases experience leads to a lack of enthusiasm ( a broad generalisation also). I have a lot of respect for older actors, those who have earnt it, and I have learnt a great deal from them. I have also worked with some amazing young people, who I respect just as much. Perhaps you should try taking the blinkers off.
