[quote=Anonymous]  [b]I really haven't seen any emphasis on physical cuteness or appearance, and generally parents aren't involved at all.  I feel like maybe that poster found a particularly toxic theater program.  In general, community theater is an awesome, inclusive group of people of all ages and backgrounds.  It's one of the most awesome things about community theater.[/b]

Reposting because I messed up the quoting before lol

I think this is the big difference. I regret a lot of the outside private more toxic theater programs we participated in. Crazy expensive for not much learning going on (unless you were in a lead roles). My kid had a much more positive experiences in the community and school shows they participated in. I got sucked into the private theater programs because I fell into the thinking trap that more time and money would equal a better experience when it really was the opposite for us. I agree that community theater is wonderful but most private programs (near me) did more harm than good (for my kid).[/quote]
