| Based on the above statements, if you really want answers to your questions, you need to expand your circle of acquaintances to include respected writers, historians, directors, etc. who have more knowledge and experience than you do. They all have websites and e-mail addresses. Years ago when e-mail became popular, I began corresponding with a whole circle of individuals who wrote articles in magazines like Theater Week, In Theater, Show Music, various newspapers, and other print media sources. They all returned my e-mails, and I began to learn from their knowledge and experience. I have definitely had conversations with a few of them about how funding at LCT, the Public, and Roundabout works. What I have learned from them over a period of decades does not jive with what you seem to be saying in some of your posts. Again, I like reading your posts. You bring up topics that deserve discussion. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings by suggesting that one of your posts was naive. I was just trying to respond to you as honestly and sincerely as I could. |

| One way is to seek out the names, writings and emails of the types of people you refer to and hope to correspond with them over several years. Another way, in the meantime perhaps, would be for you, who seem to know about the stuff I'm asking (or assuming), to reply with your thoughts or information or contradictions or whatever, to the specific things you think I have wrong or don't get or could be more informed about based on my questions and statements. (I feel like I'm doing a lot of asking, or inquisitively stating... I said "i'd like to see their books", not "I don't need to see their books because I know X Y and Z". I was saying that perhaps funding and fundraising has changed because before they started doing hit revivals they were already one of the best funded non-profits in America. I said I'd like to know how the Public does it, also spending a lot of money, having what seems to be a lot of money (by non-profit theater standards), and almost never doing revivals... and what it's like for Roundabout which does almost exclusively revivals. I didn't make points or assert things I present as truths, I'm asking, and wondering out loud. I'm sorry if it didn't come off that way. I like reading your posts too. I'd love to hear from you, in this conversation thread, about your info and insights on the topics were are discussing, rather than the suggestion to change my circle of acquaintances. Let's consider each other internet acquaintances... I'm writing to you right now. BroadwayTonyJ, I'd love to know what you have to say about this stuff. You don't even have to present as an expert or reliable source... "My understanding is..." or "I've heard..." or "People I know who've worked there have said/given me the impression..."... if you'd like to engage on that level. If you can only do that in private email, I'll just email you. |
