Ken Davenport, featured Entertainment Industry Expo panelist from "The Business Behind the Show: Knowledge is Power," is now writing a daily Blog!
This is a great opportunity to ask questions about the industry and learn the inside scoop on producing theatre and what happens behind the curtain. Each day you will receive new information and tips to help you become a more knowledgeable performer, business person, theatre lover, etc. 
Earlier this week, the theatrical royal family known as The Shuberts announced an unprecedented three year development deal with two commercial producers, Frederick Zollo and Robert Cole. Zollo and Cole (has a nice ring, doesn't it?) have been responsible for......
I went to see Paranormal Activity last week (a must-see thriller, by the way, for the story in the movie and the story behind the movie). There were 167.4 previews of upcoming attractions before PA began, and each one of......
#1. Oleanna announced that it will play its final show on January 3rd. If you haven't see the show yet, make sure you do. While we're proud of our run, it does seem that we may been lost in the......
I received an invite to Fuerza Bruta's “Twitter Night” on Thursday, Dec. 3rd where I would be “encouraged to live tweet with pictures and video.” Benefits to the show, obvious. I also saw Hamlet last week, and a couple of......

Boy, you loved last Friday's post from my reader who worked at Blaine Thompson. I had more emails about it than I did about Piven when the fish story broke. Since you loved it so much, I thought I'd give......
Oh how I love the internet. It gives you the chance to speak to so many people that you would otherwise never have the chance to, and learn from them. Perfect example . . . A few weeks ago, I......
An Old Timer and a Medium Timer were sitting at a table near mine the other day, and this is what I heard: Old Timer: Did you see those reviews for XXXXX? Medium Timer: Yep. Fantastic! Old: How long was......
I "broke toast" with a Korean theater producer this morning. As with most conversations I have with fellow producers, the topic turned to raising money. We compared strategies, types of investors, and why it's easier to raise money for one......
I'm one of the lucky folk that got a couple of tickets to see A Steady Rain, and to be honest, that's only because I'm a Tony Voter. If I weren't a TV, I'm not sure I would have even......

In his Time Out New York theater blog, Editor and Reviewer David Cote wrote the following in an article about New World Stages: Something strange is happening at New World Stages, the five-year-old theater complex on West 50th Street: you......
There is no question that Glee is great for Broadway. Here are three reasons why I love it:1. IT PUTS BROADWAY PEEPS TO WORKThe transition from theater to television is a lot more difficult now than it was in the early days of both industries. Look at how many great Broadway actors are out there that you haven't seen headlining in movies and piloting pilots.And then along comes a show like Glee, and the casting directors can't get enough from our pool: Lea Michele, Matt Morrison, Jonathan...
Tragedy. Now there's a word rarely uttered when speaking of one of the greatest comic minds of the century. Unfortunately, Broadway hasn't been kind to Mr. Simon lately. Prior to Brighton Beach, post-9/11 Broadway had seen productions of a the......
I've got a great group of interns this season, and I thought they all deserved a shout-out. So here is the DTE Fall Semester Class of '09. Matt Fried Matt came to New York straight out of college in 2006......
Merrick, Mackintosh, Drabinsky . . . All of these producers have been called impresarios during their careers (Drabinsky has been called a few other names most recently). But what exactly is an "impresario?" Thanks to one of my favorite readers,......

This week's Entertainment Weekly rag, uh, sorry, I mean mag, had the following letter to the editor: More theater reviews, please! I enjoyed this issue but I want - need - more! - Tom Ray, Woodbridge, VA Thanks for speaking......
Here's some fun for a Friday: I was getting my hair cut yesterday, and I found myself in the chair next to a talkative tween. At one point, I was staring down at my iPhone, cursing AT&T, wondering how in......
Ok. It's not here here. It's over there here. Like in the UK. The Brits beat us to the screen this week when www.DigitalTheatre.com went online with a few titles of taped theatrical productions that can be viewed in the......
