rec.arts.theatre.stagecraft is for the discussion of the technical and
backstage aspects of performance art.

This includes lighting, sound, set construction and design, costume,
stage management, production, pyrotechnics, props, and related areas.

If you're announcing a production, and you're simply trying to attract
customers, then you might be better off elsewhere (local announcement or
arts newsgroups, the Opera server at http://www.fsz.bme.hu/opera/ , or
maybe rec.arts.theatre.plays or rec.arts.theatre.musicals ).

Soliciting crew for forthcoming productions is generally acceptable, but
remember that one post will reach everyone who reads the newsgroup, and
multiple posts may give a bad impression to potential crew.

Irrelevant commercial postings are unwelcome , but occasional brief
commercial postings relevant to the charter of the group are acceptable
to most readers. Before posting an advertisement here you should read
the group for a week or so, to see whether your ad is relevant. You
should also read Advertising on Usenet, how to do it, how not to do it
at http://www.danger.com/advo.html

I believe similar standards are appropriate for alt.stagecraft - I'm
sure I'll be corrected if they aren't.
