i've been bold and tidied it up a little moved the most relevent section relationship with professional theatre to the top where it belongs could someone add the article references we think are useful along with the fun parody section i've also brought the obvious opening statement to the beginning defining amateur theatre accurately it already reads as much much better and more truthful as a fair comprimise we can then list as many companies as we like now that the opening sections place these companies in the correct context i don't think it reads as ridiculously and unfairly as it did and there's no reason why amateur companies can't be mentioned a criticism section at the very end would still be welcome though
