@grantbus that doesnt surprise me. Basically, arts in WA has not been getting the funding it did during the mining boom a decade ago. It's interesting to see the reaction when it began to affect affluent suburbs. But i guess there is only so many local repertory theatre shows of adams family and of monty python skits. Done by private school boys who just discovered monty python one can stomach before you want some variety. Long as its the same variety every year.
