May I offer an idea.After having travelled around a bit "Behind the Pro". I have come to the conclusion that stagecraft and the backstage bit usually have the look of a last minute thing.I'm sure there are the regular's who get worked to death.I realise there are a lot of reasons for these glaring problems, trying to find someone in the first place is biggest one - possibly less than 0.01% of membership.Being an ex-pro, ready for the 'glad' bag, but surely Iam not in the minority who is living out thier final gasp of smoke - here in west. There must be more of us who can assist community theatre by at least showing and/or sharing a bit of the craft with others - for, please forgive, the love of 'IT'.Maybe, we could help via your good offices with stage management, technical, design or what ever!!!sorry to interupt - but feel free to....or advise evaporation as the only option!Yours In 'IT'Joe McCabe
