I would just like to say that omni bus is one of the most un-run componies i have ever tryed out for i mean i tried out for onr of there shows and i am a dancer and i started the audition with singing which i am not that good at and then i waited 30-45 minuteds in the hall then a man said come up here and get a sticker and the sticker means you can go and see the choreographer but a lady not saying names talked to the man outside and told him to let us go so they didn't even see us dance and told us to leave. And all the other people got strait throug and was gone before we even got the sticker and i am just saying they could of atleast seen us dance. I heard that they are having a dance group and a singing group in the show and i now if they saw me dance they would of made me a dancer so they are one of the crapest run group in the inderstry so if your a dancer and you carn't sing don't try out for any of there show.From ROB

Re: Omni bus

>Does sound like it was badly organised, have you tried to talk to any of the organisers to find out why that happened???I have never heard of the company myself!The company may appreciate constructive critisism so they can make sure no one else is put in the position you were in.You must have been rather annoyed typing this,or are the spelling mistakes on purpose???Good luck with future endevours!!Sue ThomasAcorn Theatre

Re: Omni bus

In answer to Rob re Omnibus company. They are quite well known and were formed several years ago to produce musicals in which they specialise. in fact I don't think they do anything else but musicals.Sorry to hear of your problems Rob, suggest you contact Patrick Barton. I can't give you his address 'on air' but you can write to him c/o the ITA Office at 79 Stirling Street and I will see that he gets the letter. I really think you should let the Company know what happened to you, it's no use grumbling to friends and not to the people concerned.To Sue, from Acorn, see above. They have been members of ITA for some years.Norma Davis (Secretary ITA)>> I have never heard of the company myself!> The company may appreciate constructive critisism so they can> make sure no one else is put in the position you were in.> You must have been rather annoyed typing this,or are the spelling> mistakes on purpose???> Good luck with future endevours!!> Sue Thomas> Acorn Theatre>

Re: Omni bus

> I would just like to say that omni bus is one of the most un-runThat's very interesting. I myself have done about three shows with themand while they have had problems (doesn't any show) I must admit, I havenever heard of the situation you described.However, I have heard stories of 'Upper-Management' Conflict recently.Disagreements on what shows should be done etc.Maybe (if above is true) this has come to a head.In defence of Omnibus - I have enjoyed working with them and have learnta great deal about myself aswell. I have found all the members of managmentto be very friendly and helpful, and have always offered their full support.The show were great too.
