EMAILNOTICES>noWhy is there so much politics and bitchiness behind the scenes? You can deny it all you want and go on about the camaraderie, of which there can be, but I know of people who are no longer involved in theatre because of this sort of rubbish, driven underground, too scared to audition, too scared to even go see a show because of some of the carry-ons of the past, preferring to avoid these people instead. It's not just one theatre, it happens at them all.

Leg's of Fire.

EMAILNOTICES>no> Well said Jeff - I didnt realise you were so sensitive about> your LEGS please take my sincere apologise if my remarks have caused> any back handers, but it has always been my belief - "if you> got it .."Hey, I'm not concerned about the legs thing. While it certainly makes me go redder than a baboon's bum, I also realise the Great selling point my 'embarassment about my legs' is. It's the first time I've managed to get so many people to come a see one of the show's I'm in. ;-)> As for the social life aspects, I demand a play back - "where> do you get it?????"Not my idea but others. Too many times I hear things like "I'm in it to meet the girls" or "I just come for the cast parties." Someone else once said "If theatre's your social-life, then you need to get-a-life." Can't remember who it was.> Great posting Jeff!!!!Ta.Jeff "Hot Legs" WatkinsThey're not real you know ;-)
