No objection to you trying again - but in your own words. We can't accept copy and paste from copyright material. See WP:COPYVIO, which also tells you how to license the text to us if you happen to be the owner of the copyright. Easiest is to rewrite - but keep away from the original/ You can't just change a word here and a word there. It must look different. You will need some reliable independent sources - not blogs or forums ot the theatre site. Local press would probably do as it's a local theatre, but the best you can find is always the best to add. Good luck. Don't be afraid to ask for advice. If I'm not around, there are always people watching my talk page (I've just discovered there are 59 with my page on their list - didn't think it was that exciting, but might add a cartoon strip one day...).
