BY THE PRODUCER:
• We have money left over.

BY THE DIRECTOR:
• Wow, the designers were right, weren’t they?
• I think the scene changes are too fast.

BY THE ACTOR:
• Don’t…. Let’s not talk about me.
• No, leave that spot where it is – I’ll walk into it.

BY THE DESIGNERS:
• The director knows best, obviously I wasn’t giving him what he wanted.
• We may have too many gel colours in stock, I can’t choose.

BY THE STAGE CREW:
• There’s room for that over here.

Setting up a Theatre Company and Theatre in general...

dummy@example.com (Rhiannon) — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 12:02:39 +0000

Hi there. My name is T.J Browne. I have worked with Geraldine, a friend of
one of you I believe, and she directed me to your website. I am involved in
a lot of Amateur Dramatics at the moment at my University and have recently
had some sessions with The Oxford School of Drama and was one of the people
recommended by them to apply for Drama School. I have also got onto an MA
Theatre: Writing, Directing and Performing course at York Uni, one of the
people on the course next year incidentally being a person who runs his own
Touring Company and I have considered looking into getting involved in this.
However, I was also just wanting some general information on Touring Theatre
Companies and some details about how you went about starting one of your
own. There is an Enterprise Centre at my Uni which helps people start up
their own businesses and I wondered if this was something you might have
done? Any general advice on Touring Theatre Companies, MA\'s in Theatre or
on Drama School would be much appreciated as you have both obviously been
very successful and seem to be enjoying it from what Geraldine has told me.
Many thanks and sorry to take up a lot of your time with this long email but
at a bit of a crossroads if you see what I mean and some advice and
information from experienced people in the field would mean so much to me.
Many thanks. T.J Browne.
