Ten Things Theaters Need to Do Right Now to Save Themselves
The Stranger, Seattle's Only Newspaper: "Enough with the goddamned Shakespeare already."
Trouble waiting in the wings on Broadway?
Newsday.com: "In other words, in the midst of this scary economy, at least the surface appears to be holding in the theater. Most subscriptions for nonprofit theaters were bought before the market free-fall. Even the Metropolitan Opera began the season with a bigger advance sale than last year."
CLO picks a pack of modern musicals
PostGazette: "For its summer 2009 Benedum Center season, Pittsburgh CLO turns the corner into a new era, supplanting the traditional, classic musicals that have been its mainstay with shows of more recent vintage and mode."
In Defense of Piracy
WSJ.com: "How is it that sensible people, people no doubt educated at some of the best universities and law schools in the country, would come to think it a sane use of corporate resources to threaten the mother of a dancing 13-month-old? What is it that allows these lawyers and executives to take a case like this seriously, to believe there's some important social or corporate reason to deploy the federal scheme of regulation called copyright to stop the spread of these images and music? 'Let's Go Crazy' indeed!"
The Other Shore
Pittsburgh City Paper - Pittsburgh: "'Whoops' is what I muttered when I stepped into the auditorium of Carnegie Mellon's Chosky Theater: Even though it was still 10 minutes to 8, I saw that a cast of 14 young men and women was standing stock-still onstage in a circle (as they had already been for several minutes previously), dressed in identical black pants and shirts ... and I knew I was in for an evening of Important International Theater."
