A fresh start

I've come here from a question posed on the Wikiproject page. I've archived the old talk for a fresh start and will take a look at cleaning up the article a little and remove some of the sillier tags (who thought the subject was "non-notable"?). The present version suggests there is a difference in usage in the US and UK. This isn't accurate. Community theatre may be created entirely by amateurs (without any pejorative sense), professionals, or a mixture of the two. There is overlap with amateur theatre but the two terms are not identical. The same is true of their relations with "popular theatre." Any discussions of the relationships between the terms needs to be grounded in citations of reliable, third-party sources, as per usual. If anyone has the time and energy to improve the article, I strongly encourage them to do so. DionysosProteus (talk) 01:22, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

I've cleaned it and provided sources. It's a small article and each section needs a lot more, but it's a clean framework now. DionysosProteus (talk) 02:36, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Its still a little confusing to me.

Here in the UK there isn't a single widely know term that would descibe a theatre owned and run by volunteers though there is a organisation that represents them the Little Theatre Guild of Great Britain

Not sure how to make this artical clearer Back ache (talk) Back ache (talk) 12:45, 24 March 2025 (UTC)

Added Canadian

Hi. Added a little bit on the Canadian side of things. Could probably use some better source material. It's fairly easy to find, in this case, I think. Andwats (talk) 04:34, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Changing format of article

Should this article contain a history section? It seems like a lot of the geographical subsections really would be better sorted into a history section of sorts, like Theatre. Cronacrab (talk) 18:27, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

sounds like a good idea to me. Where should we start? --Melchior2006 (talk) 08:51, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
