Off to See the Wizard
Theatre Ideas: "As Teresa Eyring notes in her TCG blog, there was a small group of arts 'service organization' leaders invited to DC to discuss the recent #supplydemand issue with NEA leader Rocco Landesman.

- John Huntington's Blog -: "For many years, the professional live sound community has, for the most part, stuck to actual science to advance our art, and generally steered clear of some of the outlandish, testimonial-driven claims made in the consumer “audiophile” market.

Pittsburgh City Paper: "Blame it on my OCD, but when I see a show I like, I always want to see it several more times to understand why it 'works.' Which is why this Carnegie Mellon University production of the musical The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is the third I've seen in the past year.
