Rent @Campbelltown

Just scanned comments. I didn't see your production, BUT have to say, the attitude, coming from the company is what gives amateur!(community theatre) a bad name. Yes, you should have fun, BUT are you charging the public to see the best quality production you can present, or charging the public to view your self-indulgence? 'Collins' "I broke down when I saw my children etc.etc." you are playing a role, and should, at all times be playing that role, not crying over your kids seeing you on-stage - self indulgent, un-professional and AMATEUR!!! Biggest no-no in theatre is cast out the front before curtain up, (and after in make-up/costume) and not only do High Schools, not allow it but Primary Schools, as well! Yes! I know the show well, could sing it from beginning to end, care of devoted 'rent' fans, my children. I was at opening night Sydney, Rockdale, and the CD in this house is worn out, thanks to my children playing it for around 4 years non-stop. Had a few years respite, and because of Rockdales production, it started again. Only last week the younger, now 24, hired the DVD, so I can assure you I know the show well AND I love it. BUT these type of shows seem to lend themselves to self-indulgence.Rather than trying to be as professional, in attitude & performance as one can be, with limited funds and facilities, you seem to have self indulged and praised yourselves, just a little too much. PS: Rockdale's show had some really strong performances, BUT the direction was apalling! Guess what? There is always another show, and one day far more important memories will prevail, than "when you wre in Rent at..."
