what is everyones opinion?

is the youth of the country/world taking over theatre?

more youth companys are being formed, more young people are comming to auditions, more young people are comming to shows.

by youth, i mean 14-19.

should young people stay out of the theatre scene? do they not belong in the theatre, or should people welcome them with open arms??

just something i was thinking about.

I don't think "taken over" so much as "rejuvenated". All these things are cyclical- now it would seem that the time is ripe for youth to have its fling, and this should be openly encouraged- as Sherry has stated, the youth is the future.

The big question is how may of these youth companies will make a success of their ventures?
