Scott Bloom commented on Gwydion Suilebhan's blog post 'Profanity'
I've worked with groups who had no problem with the occasional "fuck," as long as it was in an appropriate context, and you could say "god" or "damn," but not "god damn." I always thought that was interesting. In most cases I don't really have too m…

Scott Bloom commented on Richelle Thompson's blog post 'Theatrical Middle Age & Keeping the Glass 1/2 Full'
Yes, well..., I've been doing sound since you were in diapers?

Scott Bloom commented on Gwydion Suilebhan's blog post 'Profanity'
Two quick stories - Years ago I was producing some shows for an upstart theatre company no longer in existence, and we sat and read through some short plays we were interested in doing. During a reading of a Mamet play one of our board members found…

Scott Bloom commented on Gwydion Suilebhan's blog post 'Critics and Audiences'
You always seem to start fascinating discussions. Personally I just hope for a reviewer who writes well and has something to say. I'd rather read a review I didn't agree with than one that isn't written well enough to say anything intelligent.

Scott Bloom commented on Gwydion Suilebhan's blog post 'Theater and Biofeedback'
We're not talking about looking at a physical structure on an MRI, we're talking about looking at emotions, which are not objective and are always filtered by something. Our emotional responses very often do lie, because they're informed by way too…

Scott Bloom commented on Gwydion Suilebhan's blog post 'Theater and Biofeedback'
There are two questions that come to mind. First is the Reality TV question: Does anybody behave in any real way when the situation is invented and the cameras are on them? If you knew you were being monitored for a reaction, would your reaction be…

Scott Bloom commented on Gwydion Suilebhan's blog post 'You Say You Want a Revolution?'
Okay, I've looked at both these studies and they suggest what I've just said - that using social media is becoming necessary to communicate with the target audience, but that it only reaches those who would be inclined to go anyway. According to LaP…

Scott Bloom commented on Gwydion Suilebhan's blog post 'You Say You Want a Revolution?'
Speaking for the people who practice traditional theatre, meaning community and small professional theatres, successfully getting a message out is meaningless unless people come to the theatre, and since their very survival depends on putting bodies…

Yes, but has any of it put more bodies in the seats?

Scott Bloom commented on Gwydion Suilebhan's blog post 'Humana, Day One'
I know exactly what you mean about our local choice of airports. I'll almost always fly out of BWI, given a choice, because it's a far superior airport in so many ways, but Dulles is the only one with direct flights to any of the New York city airpo…

Scott Bloom replied to Katie Meadows's discussion 'Experience with LLC vs not-for-profit???' in the group Management And Fundraising
Very odd decision. Donations to an LLC are not tax deductible because they can't be considered a tax exempt corporation. I'm not sure about receiving distributions from an umbrella corporation, either, regardless of their status. I know a couple of…

Scott Bloom commented on Richard T. Young's blog post 'Darkness and Light - Spiritually speaking'
Humor is born of pain. Neil Simon's "Prisoner of Second Avenue" is an example. The more his life descends into ruin the funnier it gets. Also "Mash", both the movie and the TV show, is a great example of finding the humor in the darkest situations.…

Scott Bloom commented on Sonya Joseph's group 'MusiCues'
Good thoughts. I will be setting period throughout the hall with preshow and intermission music, (since the group has an ASCAP contract to cover that.)

Scott Bloom commented on Sonya Joseph's group 'MusiCues'
Okay, let's get this ball rolling. Assuming you have a hard time doing all three, what's more important, setting a period, setting a mood, or playing something the characters might have been listening to? For instance I'm currently working on Gurney…

Scott Bloom commented on Richelle Thompson's blog post 'The World of World Music'
When I directed "Les Liaissons Dangereuses" a few years back I wanted to do a theme of music that progresses from somewhat before that time, around mid-eighteenth century, to the revolution. French classical music not being my forte, I consulted wit…

Scott Bloom commented on Gwydion Suilebhan's blog post 'A Pause for Applause'
Unless someone has blatantly insulted me with bad taste, and took my money before doing it, I am grateful for the effort they put out there.
