Greetings from Atlanta. I'm here in the South this week at the 32nd annual League of Historic American Theatre's conference (of which we are a member). Most of the theatres that are a part of the league are different than us (they present work and rent, but don't produce).
I find us to be very unique...a professional theatre company that owns a historic building.
The sessions so far have been eye-opening and head-splitting (try figuring out the process of getting Tax Credits...if you do, I'll give you a prize!)
As I write this, I'm sitting on a bus awaiting take-off for a four-hour tour of small communities in Georgia that have historic theatres that have recently been renovated and restored. Perhaps these theatres we see today will be more like the Bangor Opera HOuse than our host theatre (the FABULOUS Fox theatre in Atlanta, 4000 seats!!!) is.
More later,
Scott
PS I'm really excited that tonight I will be leaving my conference mates and going to check out Actor's Express' production of HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH. Thanks to artistic director Freddie Ashley for hooking me up with tix.
