Worth a Look

Here are some posts from the Greenpage last week that might be worth a look:

Stock and Amateur is the way to a "living" . . . but for whom?

PRODUCER’S PERSPECTIVE: "Apparently, the success of the post-Broadway life of these shows has afforded the very talented writers of these musicals to keep on keeping on as theatrical writers. Let's all be thankful this Thanksgiving week for that! Good writers writing is better for all of us.
But there is one thing about the article that bugged me a bit.
In the third paragraph, the author writes . . .
Community theaters and high school productions don't produce the instant big bucks of Broadway and tours, but the royalties paid to creatives, producers and investors are pure profit . . .
Uhhh, hold up."

Tax-exempt fees proposed for Pa.

Post Gazette: "Large tax-exempt landowners would have to pay their host cities fees based on the size of their buildings, under legislation that state Sen. Wayne Fontana plans to introduce next week."

London takes on Edinburgh in fringe festival fixture clash

This is London: "London is laying down the artistic gauntlet to Edinburgh and launching its own city-wide fringe festival next August."

The Next Generation of Innovators

The White House: "President Obama today helped launch a new campaign, “Educate to Innovate,” designed to energize and excite America’s students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). It builds on the President’s pledge that he would use his position to help encourage students to study and consider careers in science, engineering, technology, and innovation—fields upon which America’s future depends—and elevate those students from the middle to the top of the pack worldwide."
