Jesus Christ - SUPERSTAR

Theatre isn't a saucy film for your perverted enjoyment. I am so sick of this artform being undermined by judgemental or horny audience members. This website is meant to be a forum of free expression, true, but I have to admit I hesitate to audition for Perth amateur theatre with the knowledge that whatever I do will be ruthlessly pulled apart by fools who post anonymously on this website with the intention of degrading other people. Every audience member is entitled to their own opinion of the show- but to those who haven't even SEEN the show, most people have posted an important message for you. Watch it first, then judge it. The theatre community in Perth is small enough as it is, and most people receive little to no encouragement from their peers. Is the desire to cut down everyone else in the theatre community an Australian trait or one that is just part of the profession? Before I did a course at WAAPA a couple of years ago, a lot of people warned me there would be a lot of cattiness from my peers. But in all the time I spent there, I found that the people I was learning and working with were professional, open-minded, supportive, loving and completely non-judgemental. The only catty people I've ever met whilst I've been doing theatre in Perth are those that I have met on the set of amateur theatre productions. It really does discourage me from enjoying this art form that I love so much, This is amateur theatre, people. It's meant to be fun. FUN. Unfortunately, I missed out on the show, but I would have loved to have seen it. It's always a challenge to do something well known like JC Superstar differently and innovatively. It sounds like the cast and crew succeeded admirably. Well done!
