Mark

this is about the enraged letter (Lisa Arnseth Inquiry, Wes Martin & Bobb Cooper's Respones, Wes' Reply)that i just read from Martin to Cooper about the AriZoni Awards.

ive done tons of youth theatre in the past growing up, and in the past few years have slowly began to go into older companies. and having just read that, i see that there really isnt that big of a difference in maturity level between the child actors and a few of the "adults" of the business. not a great example some seem to be sending to the kids. kinda disappointing, and also sad knowing that some theatres are losing sight of creating art, because of awards. kudos to Cooper for not responding. no wonder he says all they do is 'whine and complain'.

keywords: "some", "few", etc. im not saying that az theatre has gone to hell, and that everyone is like this. so dont hate me.

peace and love
Daniel Sykes
