What they offer is the "pulse" of the business - the financial backing, the theaters to show in, the millions needed to spark interest and lead to sucess, that's why folks go to Nahville, - it's where the "pulse" is. That doesn't make
DC a bad place - far from it - I didn't feel you were saying
DC would be the next hollywood - hell even Texas tried to do that - we have a pretty good film industry but it's centered around Austin - again money, interest, like folks, - No insult intended by my post. Actually I wrote that more or less thinkin - what a shame that ya can't find sucess in your own back yard. It's just the way of the business and such. Dancers either go to New York or Vegas, Singers go to Calif or New York - Opera singers don't go to Nashville to be noticed - they dream of Italy...... - that's why I'm glad I'm not artsy..... I get to float from Tx to Ks whenever I feel like it - everybody needs a nurse now and then......... I think having to move to pursue your dream is bad enough - having to move to places like NY and Calif - would kill me. Hence you get the small town productions of stage, theater, and such. I love community theater - so there is a place for everyone and everything. It was just a comment......I'm certainly NO expert............so I can't debate the right and wrong of it all....... it's again just and OPINION.....
