Theatre Communications Group NY Times states the seemingly obvious: theatre geeks love GLEE, a show about theatre geeks. What's your take? Love it? Hate it? I can really only get behind the "Single Ladies" episode, but we seem to have a lot of fanatics here in the office...

Theatre Communications Group The Pentagon has provided $3.7 million for production company Theater of War to visit 50 military sites and stage readings from “Ajax” and “Philoctetes” for service members. Many of our member theatres have also done innovative and effective programming for vets. We'd love to hear what's worked and what hasn't--and what theatres did to commemorate Veteran's Day. Please share in the comments!

In Baltimore, we're working on getting all of the member theatres onto foursquare. Then letting them know about all the options foursqaure has for potential audience development. Agree that it has some great potential, especially as niche social media starts to take off.

“I didn’t want to write about the Iraq adventure out of my political creed…A play may spark the beginning of compassion or thought, but change is very difficult and painful.
