Goodspeed Musicals To Expand Artist Housing
Stage Directions: "In a twist to the recent trend for theatres to build luxe new stages, Goodspeed Musicals will build 17 new homes to be used for New Actor Housing on the Goodspeed Campus in East Haddam, Conn. The New Actor Housing initiative represents the largest capital project in Goodspeed history. Construction is set to begin this fall with a target completion date of Fall 2010. The theatre expects this project to have an immediate and positive economic impact in East Haddam as well as throughout the state of Connecticut."

It's really interesting to think about the possibility of building an artist's community out of these new actor housing projects. My home theatre in Chicago also runs out-of-town principal auditions in NYC, but it is benefited by the theatre's location inside a Marriott hotel and employee discounts extended to those actors who fly in to perform. I really hope that more than just the actors come to fill in these houses; a community of actors, production staff, designers, etc. would have a really interesting dynamic and would foster really strong relationships that may strengthen work inside the theatres and Opera House.
