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 completely agree that the future of Community Theatre lies with the young people. However, a lot of young (and not so young) people are "gypsies", all they want is to go on stage and all the "donkey" work, ie. committees etc. are left to us "oldies" . We need young people, not only on stage, but also backstage and on committees.
