First of all I would like to congratulate Grant and Julia for getting having ambition to form their own company. Secondly I would like to offer a piece of advice. I don't consider myself to be an expert, but I have been heavily involved with non-professional theatre for the past 10 years. In my expereince being part of the creative team and performing on stage do not mix. I saw Chicago on Sunday night and I felt that the production suffered from lack of direction. It is very difficult for the director/choreographer to be objective when they are on stage themselves. I could definitely see the talent and potential of the cast, but I could not shake the feeling that something was missing.

Critique the criticism of the critics?

Now this is getting way left! The beauty of site is idiots like myself can spout their new-improved mindless drivel without fear of recrimination or legal action. This must not be taken away from us: I can't let that happen, I won't let that happen, and I can't let that happen!!

Remember: "You are entitled to your opinion; no matter how base-less and ill-formed it may be"
