<p>Our theatre is 'rebranding' (new logo/slogo?) and having new name badges made for the staff. My issue is that the badges will not have our title with our name. My position puts me on front line with the public at every performance. I'm proud of what I do and worked hard to get here. Personally I think our patrons have a right to know whether they are dealing with a manager or with a custodian. <br></br> <br></br> So... am I being overly sensitive about my title (which is required on my business card…</p>

<p>How are you dealing with the federal lighting mandate and your house lights? I am having huge issues with my administration understanding that flourescent bulbs do not dim properly, nor do they come on fast enough for the safety of my audience.</p> <p> </p> <p>I have suggested halogen bulbs, but was told that they will not have a long enough life (the ones I was looking at were rated for 5000 hours?!)</p> <p> </p> <p>I do not like the idea of LEDs as I have heard the ones that dim the best…</p>

Yes, the video is old and most everyone has probably seen it by now, but it still makes me smile. Kudos to them for making an effort to step outside the norm in advertising and for not having their senior staff rap about a video blog. srsly.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-PE36fr28U">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-PE36fr28U</a>

I work at Florida Studio Theatre in Sarasota, and we are interested in doing open captioning for our winter mainstage season this year.<br /> (open captioning is like "subtitles" for a show).<br /> I know that the company C2 is a main provider of this. I'm wondering if there are other companies out there that also do this sort of thing, or alternately, if there is equipment out there that will let us do the open captioning in house.<br /> Any suggestions from anyone out there? thanks.

The Secret Theater in Long Island City is finishing up a run of macbeth this weekend. I saw it last night and was VERY IMPRESSED. It's great fun, crisply directed, great looking witches and Lady M and, especially for a black box, terrific visually.<br /> <br /> Tix may be hard to come by so google the Secret Theater Queens and get some for this very fine production.

Hey! I'm heading to the Bay Area tomorrow to visit family, friends, and cheese shops. We'll be seeing Wicked with my in-laws Saturday night -- anything I should check out Friday?
