Rumor control.
Tue, 16 Aug 2011, 04:06 pmI want to put to rest the rumor that John Senczuk has cast himself as the lead and his choreographer in a principal role in Blood Brothers. This is categorically wrong. I have no idea where the rumor that some crazy director as cast themselves and their choreographer to play inappropriate roles came from.
What the ITA do do.

The ITA do run the Finlay awards as a way of encouraging community theatre in WA. If directors are going to treat community theatre productions (it's quite clear that this has nothing to do with IAJ or John Senczuk) as a self indulgence then they should be asking if this is what they want to be encouraging.
However, it has become known that said self-casting is only if the director can’t find a suitable actor to fill the role. Obviously, there has been an extensive search. Perhaps the ITA could help said director to find a suitable actor?
Apparently there is this web site where directors can post calls for actors. Anyone heard of it?
And congratulations to Paul Treasure, for being the first person to recognise this whole discussion for the farce that it is. Well done!
