They are teachers, nurses, office workers, students, accountants, homemakers, etc. They are just regular folks who enjoy theater and want to have fun putting on a show. They are volunteers who put in hours and hours of time on evenings and weekends, rehearsing and building sets and collecting props and sewing costumes. They are just small-town people who are trying to put on the best show they can and have fun doing it.<br /><br />I would hope that--in the future--the reviewers from this blog would take those facts into account when writing their reviews and refrain from criticising individual performers.ACThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17680586894650261307noreply@blogger.com
