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.

Jeff.....> Can a manual really change the way a person interacts with others> when they (manuals) have trouble telling anyone how to program a VCR?> If only such things existed, that is a well written, informative and> life-altering manual.I don't mean a manual on interaction... I just know there are success stories and not so successful stories and I think that basically it boils down to the critical areas of administration and organisation - after all you can have the best interaction in the world but without the right recipie of organisation and administration - things do fall apart.Maybe the idea would be to become a 'committee' member on a few theatre companies to find out how they run things, pick their brains so to speak.> The only place I've ever found anything close is Pre-School,> the first book I ever ready - See Dick Run...> "See Jeff Hop" WatkinsTeri *read that book* Welch
