Ridiculous


And who exactly are you? Oh thatÂ’s right, a gutless wonder wasting everybody's time by writing utter slanderous garbage on a website designed to encourage and promote amateur theatre to the youth of Perth. And if you really have such strong views, why donÂ’t you become and adult and have it out with Trevor face to face instead of airing your dirty laundry on this website?!

Wow, it amazes me that Tacky is so well informed when they have only worked in one show! If my dear, you were so concerned about insurance, why did you stay in the show? Obviously the Concert Hall, Regal Theatre, Mandurah Theatre and the Playhouse have absolutely no idea how to run their theatres and just let anyone walk in and put on a show. Thank you yet again, for giving me a good hearty laugh at your stupidity! And do you really think that Australia would allow an “illegal” to register a company!



You truly are a special individual arenÂ’t you? I have worked in EVERY show Trevor has put on in Perth and yet, I donÂ’t know everyone in Moulin Blues, because many of them are new to the show and havenÂ’t worked with Trevor before.

<2 people meet in a café>

Funny, coz I have a script right in front of me and there is absolutely NOTHING even related to a café in the show. And the audience applause yet another priceless Tacky fabrication!



At what point did you forget that this is AMATEUR THEATRE and not the West End? I think you will be hard pressed to find ANY amateur theatre group that pays their cast. I have been performing in and out of Australia now for 7 years and I have never been paid and donÂ’t expect to get paid. The point that Tacky so obviously missed is that people who perform in amateur theatre do so out of a passion for the industry and not because they consider themselves to be the next big thing!

< Trevor goes off at cast members for not selling tickets>

I have been at every rehearsal where Trevor has asked us to push for ticket sales, hmmmm, what a bad man he is to ask such a thing! Who better to sell the show than those participating in it, who can enthuse about it because they believe in it.



What’s your point? All my friends and family love to see my shows whether it costs them $18 or $35 – I take it your family have a budget when it comes to watching your shows – well that explains a lot!

What Tacky fails to mention to you good people reading these messages is that every show put on by the International Arts Company is financed by Trevor himself and I canÂ’t think of any theatre company that puts on a show with the intention of losing money.



So those 10 boxes of bought props came from where Tacky? As for costumes, if you have imagination, it really shouldn’t be a problem. And Lynda is obviously a figment of my imagination – she’s the DESIGNER that we don’t have! I found assisting with the set very rewarding and it’s called teamwork Tacky, maybe you should familiarise yourself with the meaning



I wouldnÂ’t hold your breath Tacky. Most people know the difference between a bitter, twisted and obviously jealous outburst in comparison to constructive and factual criticism. I am sure that they will be as amused as I am at your very poor attempt to discredit a very clever and successful director and his company.



Wow, you are a master of the English language arenÂ’t you? Obviously you didnÂ’t attend any of the scheduled rehearsals that took place every week and that sometimes went for 6 and 7 hours.



Really? Because from where IÂ’m sitting you have no right whatsoever. YouÂ’ve been in one show (big deal) and obviously found it hard to take instructions from someone that obviously knows more about theatre than you do. You have no business passing judgment on anything you havenÂ’t seen, so why donÂ’t you put your money where your mouth is and come along. IÂ’m sure the cast would just love to meet you and hear your very opinionated, pointless and unsubstantiated views.

I have worked in Civic Halls, small Rep Companies and IÂ’ve done shows with Trevor and I have to say that after being privileged enough to participate in TÂ’s shows, I would find it very hard to enjoy the Civic centres as much as I do in a real theatre and only Trevor has been able to make that happen.

As for the cast not auditioning, it's not even worth the effort of responding - you don't know what you're talking about. Sour because you didn't get in Tacky?

This is a very fun & entertaining show (hence the point of any show, despite what Tacky thinks) and I look forward to being a part of it. Oh and thanks for your support Anna, youÂ’re a star!

I would just like to say thank you to Tacky on behalf of the cast and crew for promoting the show, because sweetheart, in your own very special way you have managed to get everybody talking about the show and therefore you have advertised it marvellously!
