Here are some posts from the Greenpage last week that might be worth a look:
'What show did you see?' How performances vary night to night
chicagotribune.com: "This just in: Theater shows change from night to night.
I was reminded of this obvious but oft-underappreciated fact in New York last week. In that town, critics see shows on three or four press nights. I saw the new 'Brighton Beach Memoirs' on the same night as the little group of New York critics I trust. When I read all the reviews a couple of days later, I found different emphases and varieties of tone, of course, but I had almost exactly the same view of the strengths and weaknesses of the show. I saw another Broadway show, 'Memphis,' on a different night and didn't feel that way at all."Yale School of Drama Announces New Projection Design Concentration

Pittsburgh Art + Technology: "This year is a brand new year for the Three Rivers Arts Festival. Under new management, the folks at the festival have asked us for a proposal to infuse leading edge technology into the art show this June."IATSE vs Bloomberg News’ (and others) bias.
Backstage at BackstageJobs.com: "A recent article in Bloomberg.com revealed that the top 5 IATSE stagehands at Carnegie Hall made an average of $430,543, with the Prop Master earning $530,044. These are high amounts to pretty much anyone. What is not mentioned in the original article [though I could swear it was at first] is the fact that these stagehands are working an average of 80 hours per week. All the pay over 40 hours each week would be paid at time-and-a-half, or double time. This does not include instances where meal or other break related penalties might have come into play, including during the first 8 hours of the day or 40 hours in the week."Letting Your Grad Student Go
Post Gazette: "WHEN Sheila Natbony sent her daughter, Jessica, off to college, she took to calling her each morning before class, a wake-up exchange that eased her concerns that, yes, her daughter had made it home the night before. The routine seeped into graduate school. 'My mom would call to remind me of an early class, an early exam,' says Miss Natbony, now 22 and in her second year at Georgetown Law."
