I didn't think the original comment was a slight at all.
There are certain levels of acting I expect to see depending on who is giving the performance. When I see a college production, I expect to see college students applying what they have learned in the rehearsal (and class) process, still figuring out their character explorations, etc. When I see a community theater production, I expect to see people having a great time on-stage and being mostly entertainers taking the audience on an enjoyable ride. My expectations for regional theater, off-Broadway and Broadway are considerably higher.
I'm sorry you feel the way you do, but there are many ways to read the comment. Yours being one of many. |
