"Eat, Drink, and Stage a New Play: 10 things theaters must do to save themselves '
Fri, 17 Apr 2009, 07:15 pmI just read this very interesting article in Utne Reader (very interesting magazine & website in itself; I call it the Readers' Digest for people who think) - "Eat, Drink, and Stage a New Play: 10 things theaters must do to save themselves"

A very informative read....
That's great Lisa, thankyou for posting the article.
It contains several ideas that Perth (or any other) companies could utilise.
(Mind you, if think several of them are already using suggestion #8 without intending to!)

Utne Reader is generally very inspiring...
Glad you enjoyed the post, Taurean - Utne Reader is generally very inspiring; lots of articles about not just the arts, but politics, environment & society in general - from very broadminded viewpoint(s). I call it the Lefty Reader's Digest! www.utne.com (and if it wasn't for #8, I wonder who many of us would be here, either! ;-) )

I did read it!
I read the article too, and I had intended to comment on it, but forgot!
I thought it was illuminating, fresh and challenging, and I believe there are valuable thoughts in it.
It is a good way, I believe, of getting theatres to look outwards and become a more integral part of the community in which they are ensconced.
I have a feeling (unsubstantiated), that theatre groups could easily become very inward focussed, dwelling on the things that the membership are there for, i.e. theatre stuff.
