It's been 6 months since my last blog posting. Sorry.
Mostly, that's because the spring season at the theatre was so chock full of activity that there was no time. In the end, the 2007-2008 season was the most successful (biggest audience) in the theatre's 34-year history. Thanks to all of you for making that happen.
I seem to have time to write now as I am sitting in my 28th floor hotel room in Denver after the third day of the National Performing Arts Convention. Every year around this time, TCG (theatre Communications Group) holds a national conference, and that's whats happening now. Except this year 1/2 of the time is spent with just the theatre folk (artistic and managing directors, board members, other staff and a FEW individual artists from all around the country), while the other 1/2 is combined with the orchestras, choruses, dance companies, operas, etc.
There are about 3,500 people here from all over the country and so far it's been somewhat overwhelming, somewhat inspiring, and oftentimes relevant to thinking the big thoughts.
In the end, I feel like I will leave here with a better sense of how theatre needs to be relevant to the community its in. Our growth in box office suggests that we are already doing that and I look forward to creating new initiatives and deepening the relationship with our already existing programs in the coming year.
More Soon. Happy Summer.

And I was just about to harangue you that you were missing out on a great opportunity because you were not blogging! "Visit our theatre blog" and there were no new posts since December. :)
You write very well.
