More on Community theatre
Description from Wikipedia:
WikiProject }
The definition of Community Theatre differs in the US from the UK. In the UK the term 'community theatre' is used for a movement of professional theatre companies which developed in the 70's, 80's presenting plays for specific communities with common interests - local, or regional. The plays represented the lived experiences and concerns of these communities, had a radical approach and were performed in local community centres. The best known company was 7.84 ('7% of the population own 84% of the wealth') touring working class areas. The term in the UK is now used for a show toured by a company committed to local issues and reflecting their interests.
Community Theatre, a completely separate entity in the United Kingdom from 'amateur theatre, amateur dramatics or amdram, ' is a very popular form of theatre in which all or most of the participants are unpaid or "amateur" in the most literal definition of the word.
Though community theatres are generally more traditional in nature in US, in UK they are innovative, all forms of theatre are practiced in these non-professional venues. In US they are especially well known for producing musical theater and children's theater. Many companies that are made up of unpaid members do not identify themselves as community theatre; usually the distinction between a "standard" theatre group and a community theatre is made by the company itself. Community theatre provides the opportunity for diverse individuals, many of them in other professions, to create plays and have the satisfaction of being part of an active social and artistic community. Often this involves individuals who have little or no background in theatre or the arts but who wish to get involved and to develop skills in theatre.
