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.

Methinks y'all should mellow on out..........if we start critiquing and cackling about caustic critics than we live in fear of drowning in an ocean of aliteration and in the end, disappearing up our own arses.

Take a deeeeeep breath, and order a couple of quadruple scotches and a couple of pints of cider......ice in the cider.

Yours in AmTheatre and Self Rightousness,
