Just a recommendation when your post involves Marshall Theatre dept. shows. The last line should be,"So get out there and support your community AND collegiate theatre or University theatre or something along those lines simply because I think, and I'd bet you agree that Marshall tends to really produce a higher scale product, if by technical achievements alone, then most local amateur companies. Just a thought...
That's a good point, Chris - I tend to lump Marshall and ACTC's shows in as Community Theatre productions, just as I do local high school shows, etc - perhaps we should make a distinction here. But I'd like to think that every theatre show has something to offer the audience, and we want to promote them all. I'm not sure people out there realize how much their community theatre companies depend on their support to continue creating the amazing shows we see every month in the Tri-State. It's a point I'll keep trying to drive home.
