Center Stage Youth Theatre

Posts Tagged ‘Sure Thing’

I feel a sense of loss at the lack of success our CS programs have experienced this year.  While our little night of Theatre and Music was a delight, and I was so very proud of the participants that evening,  the truth is that so many children who registered did not complete the program.  They either dropped out without a word, or kept coming sporadically and then stopped altogether.  It  was frustrating for me, yes, but I think it was frustrating for the other kids too, whose scenes had to be canceled, duets reorganized etc.  And it was embarrassing.

But this area offers so many theatre programs for kids, and it cannot be ignored that I have no money, hardly any contacts and very little community awareness of my style or support of my philosophies.  And this is in no way a judgement, as every program has their own goals.  But oh!  I am starting to yearn to be a part of a sure thing, with a budget, regulars and a support system!  lol – I intend to look into becoming involved somehow, whether it is at first only backstage.  I miss the well oiled machine aspect of a well produced show.
