The Cast Party: February 2011
http://thecastparty.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Theater, Business and Social Entrepreneurship. Tuesday, February 15, 2011. Strategy, Strategy, Strategy. So I had the benefit of attending Social Media Week. NYC's presentation on social media in the arts world last week, hosted by the Guggenheim. All of the speakers were from the visual arts world, but much of what they addressed was completely applicable to those of us in the performing arts. There wasn't anything particularly groundbreaking, but there were some key points worth passing along. I'm a yo...

The Cast Party: May 2010

Theater, Business and Social Entrepreneurship. Wednesday, May 26, 2010. Logistics of the Show: LOST edition. So, over at Artistew. The conglomerate blog of artists I contribute to), it's LOST week. So, today, we'll hit a little bit of a LOST vein. Also, if you're not reading Artistew. You should be, it's way more interesting than this guy, because there are mutliple personalities running around in there (mine included). Parallel to the church in the finale? I think so. Then why no Mr. Eko? The one who st...

The Cast Party: March 2010

Theater, Business and Social Entrepreneurship. Friday, March 26, 2010. What are you wearing right now? No one is going to take you seriously if you can't dress professionally. Has anyone ever gone to a cross-industry networking event and noticed that everyone who works in the arts is looking well, a little shabby compared to the rest of the business world? Yeah, me too. Are you a businessperson? Both photos borrowed from db-oracle.com). Links to this post. Thursday, March 18, 2010. Know When to Say No.

The Cast Party: January 2011
http://thecastparty.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Theater, Business and Social Entrepreneurship. Monday, January 31, 2011. Photo from thegraphicmac.com. So I've been lucky enough to be working with a great theater company based in Brooklyn that's embarking on a huge challenge: becoming an organization. We've all heard about the Google offices with their kegeraters, slides, and multicolored cubicles (all heresay, I have no credibility here), but what is organizational culture really, and why does it matter? For example, if your company is producing class...

The Cast Party: December 2010
http://thecastparty.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Theater, Business and Social Entrepreneurship. Tuesday, December 7, 2010. Opera in the Better Borough. So I'm a little Brooklyn biased, and when good things are happening here, I think everyone should know about them. When this nugget came across my radar, I couldn't help but share it. I mean, they made a docu-trailer for an opera! Who doesn't love a good trailer? A new opera by Zeke Virant and the Brain Rain Players. December 8, 10, 11 at 8pm
. December 9 at 9pm * $5. Environmental and procedural music,...

Theater, Business and Social Entrepreneurship. Friday, July 30, 2010. Gypsies, Tramps and Tacos, tomorrow night! Links to this post. Tuesday, July 20, 2010. I hate it when the President steals my thoughts. Over the years, musicals have also been at the forefront of our social consciousness, challenging stereotypes, shaping our opinions about race and religion, death and disease, power and politics. President Barack Obama at last night's White House Music Series Broadway event. Links to this post. 2 COLLA...

http://thecastparty.blogspot.com/2011/08/public-relations-and-fundraising.html
Theater, Business and Social Entrepreneurship. Monday, August 15, 2011. Public Relations and Fundraising. In this vein, even more than in marketing, it is important to KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE in pr and development. The most crucial step is identifying who will be interested in your pitch. Step two is to cultivate the relationship. Date your donor or journalist, so to speak. Once the relationship is formed, most of your job should be done. All of the foundation work has been set in place. Brooklyn, New York.

The Cast Party: April 2010
http://thecastparty.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Theater, Business and Social Entrepreneurship. Tuesday, April 27, 2010. Your Online Presence: Personal v. Professional. What’s your email address? I bet it’s something like your name, or your initials and a few numbers, or your name and your business, etc. What was your email address 10 years ago? Mine was curlygurl516@aol.com. Professional, no. The way we use the internet has evolved over the past 10 years. Have you? Then again, there are things you DO want everyone to see, like that award you received,...

The Cast Party: June 2011
http://thecastparty.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Theater, Business and Social Entrepreneurship. Thursday, June 30, 2011. Thomas Cott's "You've Cott Mail. For today boasts a bulk of articles about the lack of women on Broadway (and in film) in major creative roles. This isn't a new conversation, but it makes me crazy. The ubermajority of Broadway ticket buyers are in fact WOMEN, so why is it so difficult for a female playwright to get her work produced. We know there's a problem, so what are we going to do about it? Links to this post. We're failing our...

Theater, Business and Social Entrepreneurship. Wednesday, August 25, 2010. Back to School I Go. Dreams do come true, if only we wish hard enough.
