BritishTheatre.com aims are very simple, created by Marcus Markou
to connect people actively involved in the theatre with each other. If along the way, people want to promote stuff, exchange ideas and start discussions then that's fine too. The site allows you to create your own profile page and even customise it - like on MySpace.com. In fact, you can view this as a kind of MySpace.com for the UK theatre community.

You can also upload photographs, publish a blog, upload video (either directly from your computer or from YouTube.com/Google Video) and create your own groups within this group.
