Theatre People FAQ: A Cheat Sheet
AMERICAN THEATRE: There is no way to say “I work in theatre” without dissolving the fourth wall between you and other people’s polite, bewildered courtesy. However, there is a way to cheat! Here are all the correct answers to the questions you will never stop getting.From a Road Crew's Eyes
Dimmer Beach: I’m not sure what took me so long getting around to write this post, but maybe this will help communication between road crew and local crew just a little bit. This is something for the local crew to remember when a show comes to your venue.
We don’t know what you know - so we often fear the worst.You can now scan and measure your entire home with an iPad attachment
The Verge: Augmented reality startup Occipital first burst on the scene in 2013 with a successful Kickstarter campaign for the Structure Sensor — a strip of cameras and sensors you strap to your iPad that can be used to scan, measure, and project things into the world around you. Today the company is pushing that tech forward by releasing its first iOS app called Canvas. It’s an app that is capable of capturing and processing 3D scans of entire rooms, and it will even let you take accurate measurements inside that scan. Think of it like digital measuring tape, only more powerful.How To Keep Working Productively When You're Under Extreme Stress
Fast Company | Business + Innovation: Say you’re a high performer who's risen through the ranks. Now you have even bigger responsibilities. Or you're working your way toward a promotion and need to show your skills and professionalism in the best light. Then the phone call comes. The results of your medical tests weren't good. Or you suddenly have to take care of a loved one in an emergency. Or there's an unexpected financial hit that could spell catastrophe.A Post-Election Plea, To The Theatre And Its Artists
Howard Sherman: I wish that I could write a play, but I haven’t the talent. I wish that I could compose a musical score, but I haven’t the gift. I wish that I could dance, but I have neither the freedom in my body nor the discipline to train. I can sing, a bit, but only well enough to entertain myself on long car rides. So because of my deep admiration for the people who can do these things, because of how they uplift me, move me, teach me, I go to the theatre.

This article pulls on my heart strings, but also on my mind. Art is this funny thing. It's as subjective as it gets and comes receives a different reaction by everyone who experiences it. Theater is no exception.
I am so thankful for the people in this world that believe that art has the power to make change. Not only does it validate my work and choice of study, it also validates my faith in the world and humanity. So yes, I agree that in this time of uncertainty and possibly scary change we should turn to art. But the real question is, how do we get those who are so against or fearful of us for whatever reason to come and view the art. Do we advertise it as something else and surprise attack them with our message? Do we just make art large enough that it cannot be ignored by all? But also, how do we create in such a time of fear. Right now, I personally find it hard to find the motivation.
I am thankful that I am constantly surrounded by a group of people so understanding and supportive of my beliefs and human rights. But I sometimes wish that I came into contact with people that challenged my beliefs a little more. Because that is where we make change. We can rally for love and peace forever, but if we aren't brave enough to shout our message to all those who disagree with it, then we cannot make change. Presenting art and our message, in whatever medium we choose, must be presented in a place that disagrees with our beliefs and challengers our viewers. When we are brave, we will make change.
