It's not bad luck. It's community "free" theater. It's run by people who never made it and wished they had. Community theater in Sacramento is all about money, politics and back-stabbing. It's a hobby here, nothing more. Talent is not the main criteria, it's about "one-upping" the "other" company to see if you can steal their main squeeze, or find someone who can carry a tune that they haven't cast yet. The reality is, as Morales says, this is nothing. No one who makes a difference in the real theater world cares who has the lead in Sac Town. If you don't get a part, big deal..take up scrap booking or mountain climbing. Even if you do get the LEAD..big deal,so what? How will it change your life? Maybe some co-worker can come see you and say "wow you have a good voice". This is also what they would say if you got really drunk and sang your heart out at Karaoke night at the local bar. It isn't going to propel you to Broadway..it's a hobby, nothing more. You have an amazing voice but you weren't cast in Davis California...oh

although i appreciate your comment and wish i knew who you were so i could ask you about this comment what i get from it is, false. if you know anything about me, you would know that theatre is a HUGE part of my life...community or professional. musical theatre and dance makes me who i am. so if a co-worker (which i dont have any) came to my show and said good job, it would not make much difference to me. what makes a differance to me is, being on stage, performing, having to learn lines and music. that is what i get from theatre. that is not something i will get from scrapbooking or rock climbing. so, to me...it is a BIG deal. but, thatnk you for the post.

Just some random thoughts about these blogs. They can be very hurtful. Neither the people at RSP nor the peole at DMTC are bad people. They are both trying to do the best they can. They both have good reputations. I am sorry if some of the comments posted here represent SARTA's views though. That is unfortunate -- Both for SARTA and the companies

I am Amber's mom..and my name is Sally. I am not a live journal member and never even read it, probably in part, for situations just like this. Amber called me tonight while I was visiting my sister in the hospital and she was very upset about all of this. When I came home and read what someone anonymously posted to her about another post she didn't even write I had to respond. Do you honestly think it's fair to criticize Amber for what someone else wrote? Your post was every bit as hurtful and rude, and targeted Amber, who didn't write the comments you took offense to. I read what Amber wrote about DMTC and she didn't say one single negative thing. I know how much Amber loves Steve and Jan because I drove her back and forth to rehearsals for many many months. She was sad that she wasn't cast in the show, especially since it was the first in the new theater, but her post was about disappointment and her own very personal self doubt. I think you need to read her post again, and your own. When I was a little kid my Aunt Lucille was
