More space is needed
for amateur theatre

Dear Editor:

My wife and I recently attended
a production of the North Van-
couver Community Players’ play
“‘Ladyhouse Blues’? at Hendry
Hall. We are surprised that the
News did not review it. It was
worthy of coverage; it was a
good, significant play sensitively
directed and very well acted on a
well-dressed stage.

On reflection it occurred to me
that } had not seen reviews of
other amateur productions and
this causes me some concern. As
you are our only community
paper it is to you we look for
comment on what is available and
the quality of the production.

I suggest, respectfully, that you
expand your coverage of the
theatre scene by publishing
reviews of amateur theatre pro-
ductions. 1 have found that ama-
teur theatre has a freshness and
honesty not always found in its
professional counterpart.

Does WV staff
deserve hike?

Dear Editor:

West Vancouver Council have
just voted to raise their annual
pay to $15,000, a nine per cent
increase. This comes at a time of
wrenching change when thousands
of both white and blue coliar
workers are losing their jobs or
taking less pay.

In some of the larger cities in
Europe aldermen serve without
any reimbursement. They are the
dedicated citizens, and often with
years of administrative experience.

Our council should set the ex-
ample of restraint in this public
area. .

Because of the short run of most
amateur productions and the
twice-monthly limitation, it is not
always possible for a review to be
timely. Also, although efforts are
made to include local amateur
productions, the theatre review
includes overtown productions
(especially with North Shore tal-
ent) to address the varied interests
of North Shore theatre-goers.
