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

RE: Going National?
Mon, 6 Dec 1999, 11:38 pmI understand the ITA committee may take time to consider notion of listing pro shows here on the website at their meeting tonight. They've got a lot on their plates at the moment though.
Perhaps i might heap something else onto that plate while i'm at it? Many of you might have noticed that the companies and events databases provide for separation via state.
At present the focus of this site is largely western australian. However, the site is structured so that it could readily support information specific to any particular state of Australia... You could choose to see the what's on this week listings relevant only for your state. This setting would be remembered and displayed on subsequent visits. Ditto that for the what's on this month listings. Separate message boards could be set up for state-specific discussion and information.
Is there any point in thinking about going national?
