Jesus Christ - SUPERSTAR

Pfft. I laugh at your notion of 'community theatre'. If this were community theatre, the theatre would be community oriented. There would be people taking part in productions which would in turn form a theatrical community – however, ‘community’ implies notions of support and equality. 'Community theatre' is too exclusionary. Theatres seem instead to resemble little money-making machines, profits of which exist for no purpose at all except self perpetuation, sorry, and also to further inflate inflated egos. THIS IS NOT COMMUNITY THEATRE, THIS IS AMATEUR THEATRE. The only difference between amateur and professional theatre being that amateur suckers don't get paid. Same gig, less training, more bitches. ‘Community theatre’ would involve decently priced tickets of max $10; not $25 or even $40 as in some current amateur Perth productions. IT’S TOO EXCLUSIONARY. Anyone who has a pulse and a police clearance should be allowed to participate, as in a 'community'. You show me a community theatre in Perth, or anywhere for that matter, and I’ll be there in a shot. Sorry for the rant, and I’ll get off my high horse when she slows down at a community theatre. Bunch of amateurs. Over and out, Roger-ed.
