the ocracy is one name for a company, that a wollongong "director" started with the apparent desire to do his own thing to other more noteable peoples work, their productions are usually well know works that they have changed and re-done to the point where the original intention of the writers is unrecognisable. people turn up in various states of undress (usually cute boys)for no apparent reason and lines get added to change the meaning of the work. for instance herod is cast as a woman, jesus gets electricuted or the artful dodger is taking a bath. as a company they almost show contempt for the original work and their audience. their egos are so large they fail to see how dreadful the productions are and appear to not care that they are the laughing stock of theatre in the illawarra. unfortunately their behaviour is now turning audiences away from decent productions and musical theatre which is thriving everywhere else, is dying a slow and painful death by association here in wollongong. the problem with all this is audiences now turn up to see how bad the latest show is and therefore provide them with the funds to mount the next production. as the third production of JC Superstar from this director has been announced we can only wait to see what atack they will mount on this great show, perhaps a Davinci code influenced production with jesus and mary humping on the table during the last supper, while the apostles cheer from the sidelines. dont laugh hes probably thinking of it. as copywrite forbids the changeing of a script i cant imagine why they are permitted to continue re-writing the work of others, perhaps its time the royalties holders were informed about whjat is happening here. someone has to stop them before its to late.
