Going Pro?
Sat, 4 Dec 1999, 07:46 amHi All
Do you want professional companies and shows listed in the database?
I know that i would personally find it very useful to have them all listed in the one place.
At present no-one in Perth - as near as i can tell - is providing a comprehensive on-line listing of what is happening in both the professional and amateur theatres. If the ITA site were to provide it, we could all benefit from people visiting to see what is happening.
It would not be my intention to distinguish in anyway between professional and amateur listings. If people can't tell from the ticket price, venue or name of the company, then they probably won't recognise the difference in product either.
Cheers

Gone Pro!
Thu, 9 Dec 1999, 10:01 pmOn Monday evening the ITA committee agreed that there would be benefits to the entire theatrical community of Perth in listing both professional and amateur shows in the what's on section of this website. A little bit of co-operation might build audiences for all concerned. So watch out for it happening very soon!
The committee also lent support to the push to develop stronger national links for the ITA website. I don't believe it's inaccurate to suggest that earlier efforts by the Association of Community Theatre in NSW to form some national representation have languished for more than a year.
If the ITA site were to offer a forum for discussion of national theatre issues, what would you wish to see addressed? Formation of a national representative body? A national drama competition? Representations to government agencies for increased support for community theatre? A national conference/expo circulating from state to state?
Or is this all just too much political newspeak?
