Its such a shame that the Tops of the town was dropped. During its tenure it provided opportunities
for local talent to emerge and it creart a healthy competitive heart beat for the city. The proof of this
was the scarcity of tickets that were likevgold dust.
its a pity that those who motivated the event at the outset
have not been replaced by a newer generation with enhansed motivation.
The same could be said regarding the demise of the Waterford festival of light opera
that was founded with reasonable success by much foresight all those years ago
Government and locally elected representatives can be blamed for undermining
Waterford city in some regards, however without local motivation creating a driving force
the theatrical life of the city may never again reach the pinnacle experienced in the 1970/80s.
The theatrical activities from 40 years ago are now the basis of the excellence posted by the Waterfordtheatrearchive. Is it likely that archives from this current period will be available in the future?
Well done
