Your Reputation Is Your Résumé
Technology Review: Building a career isn't what it used to be—and we're not talking about the sputtering economy or the 13.3 percent unemployment rate among 20-to-24-year-olds. College graduates entering the job market are supplementing and sometimes circumventing the traditional job-search routine of combing want ads and sending out résumés. They're using online resources to build reputations, demonstrate skills, and give employers a much clearer idea of their strengths.
Why Getting Things Done is The Best Productivity System
lifehack.org: David Allen’s Getting Things Done book has been around for over ten years now and has totally changed the way that many knowledge workers work and play. The system has helped me and many editors and contributors here at Lifehack get their most important work done on a daily, monthly, weekly, and “lifely” basis.
What are we missing?
2AMt: What are we missing out on by not having more female voices and perspectives on our stages? As we make our way to the culminating event in Forum Theatre’s current Female Voices Festival, I thought it appropriate to step back and give some explanation as to what led us to producing this festival and what it means to the past, present, and future of both Forum itself and the American Theatre. It started with an embarrassing admission.

Ten Things Theaters Need to Do Right Now to Save Themselves
The Stranger, Seattle's Only Newspaper: 1. Enough with the goddamned Shakespeare already. The greatest playwright in history has become your enabler and your crutch, the man you call when you're timid and out of ideas. It's time for a five-year moratorium—no more high schoolers pecking at Romeo and Juliet, no more NEA funding for Shakespeare in the heartland, and no more fringe companies trying to ennoble themselves with Hamlet. (Or with anything. Fringe theater shouldn't be in the game of ennobling, it should be in the game of debasement.) Stretch yourself. Live a little. Find new, good, weird plays nobody has heard of. Teach your audiences to want surprises, not pacifiers.

So much harsh harsh truth. I will always be in support of Shakespeare because, generally, I never get tired of it. There's a reason it has remained for hundreds of years, because it's great! That being said, I love when companies offer Shakespeare alongside a new, contemporary piece. Yes, new works MUST be produced! How is theatre supposed to continue living if it is not. On the other hand, sometimes an audience needs a good classic that they know the can trust in order to counterweight the craziness that it sure to come if a company focuses on world premieres. Childcare is a great point to make, especially if targeted audiences members are below the age of 45. Im not sure how I feel about the whole "turn theatre into a party" thing. Theatre used to be a sophisticated event, not something to look forward to only if you can get drunk at it. I feel like I am just angry at the tone of whoever wrote this article. I think they were a bit cranky that day.
