Cheating On My Blog, Or Checkout My post on MTI

Usually my MTI blogposts are about why you should license "THE APPLE TREE" and do it in your community theater because it's based on classic literature, or some other sort of thing that encourages people to take a look at the MTI catalogue and do a new show before just doing OKLAHOMA! again. Not that I don't love OKLAHOMA!, because I do. However, there's not much reason to crosspost those posts here...however, check out this piece I wrote about an all female version of 1776 - wherein I try to talk about feminism and patriotism in a public forum.

Shameless Plug: Support Playwrights Horizons and New Work!

I know I haven't posted in awhile, and this entry is sort of a shameless plug, but consider the following.

Playwrights Horizons is a non-profit, Off-Broadway Theater, and it's one of the most prominent organizations supporting new work by American writers in the country. PH has a pretty good track record of supporting daring, new musicals in particular - its not afraid of the kind of shows that deal with social issues, but rather seeks those shows out for production. This is rare and important, and sort of the whole point of this blog. SO!

Support Playwrights Horizons through May 18th, by checking out the online auction and bidding on some cool musical theater items in the process! http://www.biddingforgood.com/auction/AuctionHome.action?auctionId=124629863

Of note for MT Lovers:
- 2 Tickets to CATCH ME IF YOU CAN and a backstage visit with Aaron Tevit
- Tickets to the first preview of RENT and a chance to meet Michael Greif
- Have Michael Friedman write a song about you

OR support PH and ME and bid on essay tutoring help from Essays That Sing!
