Never mind about reviews - when was the last time you saw a MENTION of community theatre in the West, or the Sunday Times for that matter????????And yes most of us (we) publicity officers ARE tired of banging our heads against a brick wall, it hurts after a while!!Community papers are a bit beter, we (Melville ) have had a good run recently - keeps fingers crossed - but even then it does depend on an interested reporter and how many of the cast come from the paper's 'catchment area'And to think that the Adjudicator for this years SDF is the Sunday Times Arts editor.Suggestion: both Alison Farmer and Ron Banks have e-mail addresses. Why don't we ALL bombard them with complaints/suggestions/ideas?I've done so but being a voice in the wildernes ain't enough, it needs lots of us, and I mean lots (and no I didn't get an answer)SO GET OUT THERE AND START.

The West Australian has a special editor for its letters section, so you might get one or two letters printed on this subject, but he or she has no influence in determining a change in policy. If you are really serious about a letter writing campaigning, you should target the managing editor who can make broad and sweeping changes to the entire newspaper.
