Greetings to all!
I have been asked to carry out some investigations to try to obtain the names of successful/famous film or TV or and stage actors who have started off their career with a community theatre group or an amateur theatre group.
Of immediate interest is australian artists but information on other nationalities is welcome too.
I need this information by Friday evening at 5pm so would appreciate if anyone out there can help out.
regards
John Flood

RE: Success stories community theatre: Limelight

hmmmm.....

The Limelight Theatre in Wanneroo had many success stories, the most widely known is Lisa McCune (Blue Heelers, further info: http://home.primus.com.au/avg/maggiedoyle/mccune/ )who began her career there.

This theatre is worth researching by itself, it has had some huge talent pass through its doors since its inception in the 80s...

I don't know much more about its history, but you can find some names of people to talk to on the limelight theatre website @ http://limelighttheatre.com (is someone gonna tell me how to link on here!??!)
