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.

As one of the aforementioned "youth", I think its great that there are more opportunities for young people who want to act - I find myself turning down (*shock horror*) opportunities because I simply cannot do everything.

Having said that, it is my blatently honest opinion that people are not really worth watching on stage til they are about 16. Yes, there are several "youths" that I know that are fabulous on stage, but for every one of the good people, there are 10 that I just cringe at, and wonder, "how did this person get this role?"...
