| Episode 3.17: A Theatre Revolution Begins | April 21, 2008: A Theatre Revolution BeginsÂ2008 by Neighborhood Stage Productions, LLC
This week we suspend our normal format in order to have a spirited discussion on how to turn around the decline in local theatre and make it a growing and viable in the 21st century....since we are eight years into it already!
We discuss the four following radical recommendations:
ELIMINATE the term "community theatre"
Flip the new play development process from a top-down (Broadway down) model to a grass roots model with Broadway being the "pinnacle" of the process.
Theatre companies with their own venue need to split the organization. One group should solely run the venue, while the other group solely produces the shows.
Create a new, flexible,season pass, that can be used for any shows the bearer wants....at any participating theatre.
Joining us in the discussion are members of our live studio audience in Second Life. This episode is intended to START the conversation. If you would like to get in on the discussion, call us on our voicemail line at 888-59-STAGE or email us at podcast@NeighborhoodStage.comDownload (46:51 / 16.0 MB) | Subscribe to Podcast

We also discuss it afterwards with our Second Life studio audience.

This week we take a look at two shows that school and community theatre groups are eager to get their hands on: "Phantom of the Opera" and "Avenue Q".
First we talk to Stacie Martinsen, who co-directed what turned out to be the very first U.S. high school production of Andew Lloyd Webber's "Phantom of the Opera" at Carroll Senior High School in Southlake, Texas. Stacie tells us how she was able to get her school in the pilot program, how she attacked rehearsing the show, what big technical glitch almost derailed opening night, and why she thinks schools show actively pursue doing this show.
Then we spend some time with Morrie Enders, Artistic Director of the Civic Theatre in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The Civic Theatre was selected by Music Theatre International to pilot the community theatre edition of Avenue Q. Morrie tells us about the challenges of the show, the great story the show contains, how it is to work with the puppets, and what community theatre groups hoping to produce it in the future should keep in mind.

This
week we suffered "Interview Failure". Our scheduled spotlight interview for the week fell through. So we went deep into our archives to pull out an interview we did with Charles King, who, at the time, was the Publicity Manager for the Geneva Theatre Guild in Geneva, NY.

Also, while we were in the archives, we grabbed a "Show of the Week" segment we aired in October, 2006. Shirley Sacks, Guest Artistic Director with Theatre Jacksonville in Jacksonville, Florida and a drama teacher at Stanton Prep in Jacksonville, tells us about "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest".
We continue our "Broadway News (in five minutes or

| Episode 1.15: Budgets, Stage Managers, and "The Last Days of the Dixie Girl Cafe" | September 4, 2006: Budgets, Stage Managers, and "The Last Days of the Dixie Girl Cafe"This week we are talking about budgets. We offer some tips on how to best put a production budget together and talk about things that have worked for us. Larry Ann Evans, director of the Geneva Theatre Guild, sends us a "Show of the Week". Larry Ann interviews Melanie Phillips, a director in Colorado, about Robin Swicord's "The Last Days of the Dixie Girl Cafe".
This week we also have the first in our four part series on stage managing. We talk with Allison Emerich, a junior in the DeSales University technical theatre program, and with Stephanie Simons Neal, who frequently stage manages for the Villagers Theatre in Somerset, NJ. We ask them: how they became involved in stage managing, what they think the most challenging aspects are, what they find most rewarding, and if there are any other roles in theatre they would like to take on.
