Hi, Tacky. My name's Anna. I don't believe we've met....which tells me how closely you've been involved with the company in the past year. Of course, please do correct me if I'm wrong, but I'll bet I know the company better than you, which puts me in a reasonable position to comment on your libellous posts - that is, in advance of doing anything I can to assist the company in pursuing legal action on this matter.



Wow. Well, congratulations - you've now topped my list of the most ill-informed, unsubstantiated overuse of derivatives of the term 'legal' I've ever seen. And I work for a law firm.

I don't believe it really matters what you feel you have a right to do, Tacky. What matters in this environment includes commitment, passion, encouragement, common professional courtesy, and OK, if you're going to force the issue, the law. Yes, that's the same John Law that armed you with the inappropriately and unlawfully applied terms "illegal" and "legally" above.


Trevor Patient is just bad.>

Oh dear. Convincing argument. However, given your previous thoughts have apparently driven you to post extremely unwise comments in a public forum, my faith in your ability to "think of" the worst or best company is somewhat dimmed.



Well, Tacky, actually I think you've done a pretty good job shredding your credibility all by your li'l self.



Maybe you saw me perform in the Blues Brothers show in Mandurah last year, or perhaps (since you did say you've been in one show and seen two others) you saw me as part of the Fame cast in March. That's my character's name on this post. I had a ball in both shows, and was proud of my involvement (and yes, that includes months of set-building and other production team work - what a fantastic experience and new set of skills I have now), and of the final product. And I can let you know that the audition process I went through for Fame was the most gruelling I've ever experienced in over fifteen years of amateur and professional performing.

And did you know that some theatre companies are actually just that? Do you know what that can mean, Tacky? It means that in some cases, theatre companies will build a 'company' of regular performers through intensive auditions, who are then used again in subsequent shows without needing to go through from-scratch auditions as if they were unknown to the director? Tricky thing, common sense, isn't it?



Look out, International Arts Company, the Tacky Army is upon you.
Good luck, Tacky. Do your worst. Karma will look after you, if the law doesn't first.



Oh, and I thought it was because you are a coward. But not wanting to "live out the insults" you bring upon yourself by spewing malicious libel anonymously into a public arena is a totally different thing. Sure.

Don't kid yourself, Tacky - your views aren't strong, rather they are so lacking in substance they are positively flaccid.

Looking forward to seeing the show myself. Chookas, Moulin Blues!

Cheers
Anna
