A thought experiment from New Zealand examines a potentially new way to not only make arts funding more equitable, but transparent and with the opportunity for potential patrons to find projects to fund. This future thinking in the industry extends throughout the United States as well, as companies re-imagine what entry level programs look like.

Unions have been a central narrative of much of 2022 across many industries, and they took center stage last week in the performing arts industry as two Unions, Actors Equity and United Scenic Artists filed suit against the producers of Paradise Square. Across the river in New Jersey, the American Guild of Variety Artists added Medieval Times.

As calls for unpaid internships to come to an end continue, many are re-evaluating their budgets and business models - with some adjusting their production model, and others looking at the financial realities and closing their doors.

PRESENTAZIONE DELLA NUOVA STAGIONE del TEATRO MANZONI Prosa, drammaturgia, commedia, tutti gli aspetti in una stagione ricca di interessanti appuntamenti

Perisphere Theater’s production of R. Eric Thomas’s Time Is On Our Side opens at the Silver Spring Black Box Theatre on August 13, with a preview performance on August 12. This dramatic comedy features four queer characters who stumble upon a secret diary that sheds light on the gay rights movement of the 60s and 70s and causes them to confront fundamental questions about how we deal with the past: Who owns history, and who has the right to tell it or withhold it?

Dal 4 al 6 Ottobre al Factory 32 di Milano è andato in scena TWISTED - IL MUSICAL SU JAFAR (perché su Aladdin l'hanno già fatto), presentato per la prima volta in Italia dalla Compagnia del Musical (CDM), in collaborazione con la Scuola del Musical (SDM), in seguito a una campagna di crowdfunding organizzata dalla stessa CDM.

Una carriera lunga 85 anni, 43 album incisi, oltre 1000 canzoni scritte, 300 milioni di dischi venduti. Questo e molto altro era Charles Aznavour, alias Chahnourh Varinag Aznavourian, uno dei padri della tradizione musicale francese del dopoguerra e probabilmente lo chansonnier per eccellenza, con un repertorio musicale in sette lingue e numerose versioni in italiano delle sue canzoni. Uno stile, quello d'oltralpe degli anni '50/'60, che ha influito in buona parte sulla musica italiana degli anni successivi.

Carol de Giere's revised and updated second edition to her earlier biography, 'DEFYING GRAVITY: The Creative Career of Stephen Schwartz,' was a necessary Act II, since, as we all know, Schwartz's star has only continued to rise since 2008. It's a wonderful addition with brand new behind-the-scene insights on his latest projects. As her webpage states, 'This new edition features a Foreword by Alan Menken and four new chapters covering Schwartz's more recent projects like The Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Prince of Egypt, and Wicked after Broadway. DEFYING GRAVITY Second Edition includes additional 'Creativity Notes' with comments from Schwartz about overcoming creative blocks, collaboration, and the artistic life.' A stunning 512 pages (with photographs and handwritten notes), de Giere's book is a thoroughly fascinating read as well as something of a musical theatre master class in written form -- one that has been lovingly lensed through the life and creativity of Stephen Schwartz.

This weekend saw the TheatreWorks world premiere of The Prince of Egypt, which first came to life almost 20 years ago as a DreamWorks animated movie of the same name. Taking its cue more from Cecil B. de Mille's 'The Ten Commandments' and less so from the Bible, Philip LaZebnik's musical book creatively reimagines Moses as 'spare to the heir' behind his adoptive brother Ramses in this retelling of the Exodus story. Coupled with Stephen Schwartz' rich and nuanced score and lyrics, and an absolutely dynamic, multi-ethnic international cast, this epic saga of two brothers caught up in a destiny-defining relationship is altogether magnificent.
