Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
unfortunately, some community theatres are not very responsive to emails,,, the thinking is that you need to put as much effort into contacting them as possible!. there is some validity to that I suppose as they can gage how serious you are,,, emails are easy to write, require no effort to speak of, a phone call is just a step up from an email, getting down there and showing them you are serious is the best thing to do!. Start with a phone call to see when someone will be on hand to talk to talk with you, stress you want to talk face to face and set a time that is agreeable to you, your parent(s) and the theatre staff!.


and yes, I spell theatre this way,,, back when I was in college it was the way we distinguished between live theatre and a movie theater!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

call the theatre if you have their number, check their website if they have one for upcoming classes, maybe even drop by one day and ask!. chances are they just never got around to checking or responding to your email, or are in the midst of setting something up and wanted to get it confirmed before sending you any information!. or, then again, maybe they just weren't interested in your idea or question or they didn't care enough to email you back saying "no, sorry"!. who knows!? i'm sure if you call them they'll give you an answer!.!.!.!.!.no avoidance on the phone =D

It's possible that whoever is in charge of the e-mail doesn't check it regularly!. Try calling them on the phone!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
