As I said.... things will only get worse if people keep commenting.. .and so they did..... whatthehell... I'm just asking that you leave the kids alone when you decide to be so critical. These are great kids with big hearts... LEAVE THEM OUT OF YOUR COMMENTS! So blab all you want... just try not to point out the kids when you're spouting. Other than that, enjoy yourself all you want. I wish the arts community could work together rather than against eachother. How sad this is... I hope one day your opinion will change towards NLT.... apparently it does so badly after being around for 60 years, but what do I know... my standards are low apparently.

Ok... I was trying to be over this... I have only one more thing to say regarding this situation, and hope that all involved will decide to let this rest.
First of all, yes I was a bit insulted that sweatybob made the decision to call me out and be so critical on a public forum that many of my family and friends have read. I am totally against using/abusing opportunities such as the "comments" feature on this website to state things that may cause harm or insult to a member of this community. Now, don't get me wrong... I do believe in the "freedom of speech" and a "right to one's personal opinion". However, I do think that if your opinion is negative and you feel the need to say things about someone, then I think things would be more effective if one would decide NOT to hide behind an anonymous name on a website.
To sweatybob and everyone else who posts on this website... you have every right to have your opinions; however most of the time opinions are being expressed from only one side..... People fail to recognize the entire story.
In regards to the comments of the performances of these children who perform at NLT, I encourage you all to realize that you are commenting on CHILDREN. They work hard at the theatre, spend many hours rehearsing, working back stage, and performing. All the while, maintaining very good grades in school, and managing extracurricular activities. These children are amazing, and are assetts to our community. I had the opportunity to work with these kids last summer in "Into the Woods" and "Grease". The WHOLE story is this... These kids put together two fabulous shows in just 6 weeks. I watched them come together as a unit and support eachother... help eachother and become a family! Every person involved gave 120%. I am so proud to have been there to see those shows come together. So, as an adult member of this theatre who loves these kids very much..... Please do not be so harsh with your comments, unless you are willing to back it up with something that will help that child grow. I would not want to be responsible for destroying a dream of a child with such promise.
Also, (whatthehell47), this is an AMATEUR theatre. Many people who do the show have never had any acting, singing, or performance lessons of any kind. They are merely here to enjoy themselves and share their love of the arts with the community. They receive NO money for it.
I am sorry that you felt "moved to pity" because they were enjoying themselves. I hope that you can find some way to be happy as most of us at NLT are. Maybe one day, you will actually attend a show, and your opinion will change.
Once again, I am asking that we allow this issue to end, as things will only get worse. I am proud of our theatre and everyone who devotes their time (VOLUNTEER). Also, please think of what you are saying before you post things especially towards children. Don't be the one to destroy dreams!

Hi... I just read the comments that was made on the website regarding that "blonde gal". Someone at the theatre approached me and made me aware of the comments that were posted. Well, I am the blonde gal you spoke of. I am somewhat insulted that you chose me to pick on, as it was supposed to be a time of celebration. My name is Darlene McCune, I have been involved with the theatre for a few years now. I am also a choral director as well. Not that I need defense; but I WAS very ill, and was trying my hardest to "go on with the show". For all In fact, I spent the majority of the time back stage and couldn't even enjoy the festivities. I know you probably don't care to hear it, but it's the truth. I do hope that you continue to come to NLT as there are many quality shows that take place there.

WOW... it amazes me how optimistic some people are!!! (Sarcasm) I personally am quite proud of the choir students as well as Dr. Borum.... Good things DO happen in Natchez.... You should be proud of them, rather than kill it with sarcastic remarks, that don't matter anyway.... Congratulations to Dr. Borum and the students!!!!

FYI: Natchez Little Theatre is not a city owned or run organization. It is a community theatre where the actors and stage crew are VOLUNTEERS. They do not get paid to rehearse or perform. This organization can not and will not exist unless the community that it serves supports it by attending the shows, and volunteering as well. It has been in the same location for many, many years now; and although it may need repairs from time to time, this is a Natchez tradition that should be treasured. Again, I encourage everyone to come out and see "Ten Little Indians", and who knows maybe you'll be on stage at NLT!!!

I would like to encourage everyone to come out and support Natchez Little Theatre and its talented actors. Each production never ceases to amaze me! For those of you who always claim that there isn't anything positive to do in this community: Pop in here, you wont be sorry!!!

I disagree with the statement that someone made "NOBODY is trying to help them". I'm here everyday. No, I know that I can't reach them all... but maybe just a few can be touched by what I try to cover in my classes. I just get really offended when people assume that just because a young person here in Natchez attends a public school, they are automatically dumb, or ignorant. I know, first hand, many students who are extremely intelligent; and have WONDERFUL grammar and grades... They are frowned upon because they are students of the public schools. They aren't all bad, but most people fail to see it.
