What I’m Not Telling You
07.27.11 | Permalink | 2 CommentsThe inquiries, mostly via Twitter, are cordial, casual and polite. “Let us know what you think,” they ask, in response to my mentioning what show I’ll be seeing later that day. “I loved it,” they say, “Hope u do 2.” Until three weeks ago, I had a standard answer to these conversational inquiries about Broadway [...]

Whether To Adopt
07.18.11 | Permalink | 3 CommentsAs a result of fairly assiduous Twitter use, I have a very respectable score on Klout. However, now that Klout is about to start factoring in FourSquare activity, I have begun “checking in” these past few days, though I registered at least a year ago and find it somewhat juvenile (Badges? I don’t need no [...]

Will The Embargo Hold?
07.12.11 | Permalink | 7 CommentsIt’s a great word. “Embargo.” It seems to come from a different age, or a world in which brinksmanship over major issues comes into play. Oil embargo. Trade embargo. But it’s alive, if not exactly well, in the relationship between the media and those that they cover. In the past 36 hours, there have been [...]

John Lahr is not a dumbass.
06.22.11 | Permalink | 5 CommentsJohn Lahr, New Yorker theater critic, wrote a piece on Julie Taymor’s frustration with the process of creating a new theatrical work in the era of instant feedback, Twitter, and focus groups. It’s a great piece, full of historical perspective on the role of audience (that is to say, amateur) criticisms of theater. He rubbed [...]

The Power of Ideas
I may be using Jim McCarthy’s name as an expletive for the next several days, but those that followed that first conversation that led to me applying and being granted a TED license to organize an independently organized TED event on the future of the arts industry will tell you that really I have only [...]

A 360 in Practice
A few weeks ago, I felt like a time-traveling documentarian. My theatre company, Glass Mind Theatre, decided to host a 360 Storytelling event, as developed by 2amt. We went with the theme of “The One” to celebrate our first official season. A few company members – not including myself – and some invited storytellers in [...]

2amt Meetup: New Victory
The New Victory Theater, the Drama Bookshop and 2amt are hosting a tweetup on Friday, May 6th. If a tree falls in a forest and no one is there to hear it, does it make a noise? If a play is performed in front of a different audience than usual, does it change? The New [...]

Last month’s meetup down at the Public Theater had a great turn out and I personally really enjoyed getting to meet theater folks from across the city. A number of people I talked to mentioned Peter and Wendy, a production opening here at the New Victory in New York City on May 6th. Some comments [...]
