The Empty Spaces - Or, How Theater Failed America
Theater - The Stranger: Seven years ago, I left Seattle for New York—I abandoned the garage theaters and local arts scene and friends and colleagues—because I was a coward. I'd already tried to sell out once, by working at a shitty Wal-Mart of a tech company, but I knew I would not survive in the theater if I stayed. I fled to New York to bite and claw a living out of the American theater as an independent artist because I was young and stupid enough to think that would actually work.Where There’s Smoke, There’s Stagecraft
The New York Times: The barometric pressure affects it. So do the whims of air-conditioning systems. Under the wrong circumstances, it could get whooshed into the crowd the moment the curtain rises.
Stage fog is a delicate creature: whether as haze that hangs in the air, a thicker vapor, or the low-lying kind that the lighting designer Natasha Katz calls “Brigadoon” fog — the stuff that wafts like a cloud around the actors’ ankles when it’s kept really cold, and rises higher when it’s not.Just About All of Hollywood Might Boycott Georgia If Governor Doesn't Veto Anti-Gay Bill

The Producer's Perspective: So I have a theater. It’s on 45th St. and it’s named after my great grandfather, Delbert Essex Davenport.
Because my name is on the outside of the building, a lot of people think I own the place.
Truth is, I don’t own it. I rent the space.
I’m a guest of a non-profit and charitable organization that fortunately for all of us believes that a theater on 45th St. is an important part of the local heritage and community, instead of another hotel, parking lot or a Starbucks.HBO’s ‘Vinyl’ Production Designer Makes ’70s-Set Series Sing
Variety: Bill Groom had barely celebrated his fourth straight Emmy win for production design on “Boardwalk Empire” when he was approached to board another HBO series, “Vinyl, ” set in the music scene of 1970s New York, a world steeped in sex and drugs, even as musical tastes were shifting from rock ’n’ roll to disco, punk and hip-hop.
