Nate, Nate, NATE!! But you just did! One of the biggest problems with someone learning the trade is that they find it very difficult to take constructive criticism. At times they believe they are the centre of the artistic universe and void from criticism!! I am making the assumption that you are attending WAAPA studying something, Acting or Musical Theatre or something else. Very few people make it big Nate and I dare say with some of them they don't make it because they believe they know everything there is to know which is a wrong. Jason has simply given his worthy opinion and put it very well I might add. I in fact saw the show on the same night as he and believe it to be not the best show I have seen at WAAPA but I am not even going to try and critique the show. So Point No. 1:- Nate is IF you are doing the course at WAAPA don't fall into the trap of believing your way (or WAAPA's) is the best way as you may find that you'll spend a great deal of time out of work or heaven forbid keeping your hand in by doing Community Theatre!! If someone's opinion differs from yours get over it and move on. Maybe try and see their side and if you believe it still to be not what you think get over it and move on! At least listen and try and make sense of it for one day it may have some relevance for YOU.
Note - I did enjoy the immigration scene and the way they used the cameras to project the game scenes in Chess.
Point No. 2:- You and Jason have been involved with Theatre and you both obviously have a passion for it BUT the only difference between you both is that Jason does it for the love of while you have been paid to do it!! That one single difference does not maketh the man/woman. I have a number of friends who have been through WAAPA or are currently going through WAAPA who all started in Community Theatre and some now are coming back to it. That doesn't make them any less talented than people working professionally in the industry or make them any less knowing than people working professionally in the industry. So chill out and don't chastise people, in what ever level of theatre, for having an opinion that may differ to yours.
Anyway, all the best Nate for the rest of your course and good luck when you graduate and move back to Sydney or Melbourne or London ....
