Back to Broadway Month

Got my latest script for the Something Witty Productions next festival-Goldie and The Bears, an original by David Rigano *the one and only*

Today I have a phone meeting with the producer for the show about casting, set, space, etc. My biggest concern right now is where the space is. Last time, I ran into problems because I did not see the space until tech the day before. It wasn't a complete problem, but it was a bit of a pain. Hopefully this time I will get a chance to go down to the space myself and check it out.

I am also having brunch with the very talented Casey Jones. He is a playwright who recently moved to the city (coming up on his one year anniversary with ol' New York), but has a spectacular knack for murder mystery plays as well as short SLN like sketches. Currently we are working on getting his mystery "Say A Prayer for Emily Hall" off the ground.

September 13th, 2009 is also home to few other important things- Ave Q closes today after a great 6 year run (6 year?). It has always been a favorite to the tourists and families, as well as the New Yorkers here. I am happy to see it go out now though, its awful when great musicals go stale and have to be dragged off of broadway (i.e Chicago, come on now guys, time to go). Better to have a solid run, good reviews, and leave when people will still miss you.

Today is also Broadway on Broadway-that great concert that is apart of Broadway Cares Equity FIghts Aids. September is Back to Broadway month. There are lots of great events happening all through this month check out

Some of my FAVORITES:

Today-Broadway on Broadway, one of the first things I did when I moved to New York, it marks my 5th fall in New York. The concert is full of broadway stars, lots of fun fans and you get a preview of the season. You have to go once to go, but just watching on the tele is good enough for me now a days.

Sept 24th-Broadway Karaoke, never been before but it looks like a good time

Sept 27th-The Flea Market! This is great. All of the broadway shows get together and each have their own flea market stand in Schubert Alley. You meet lots of great people, and have great finds. Its my must for pre-Christmas shopping. I always get my friends something signed by the original cast or their favorite actor.

Remember to support Broadway this month. Each show will be asking for donations after their shows or have special deals from now through Christmas, give to at least one or two when you go. Its important that the Broadway Community has a support system like our audience.

Now, you have 2 hours before Broadway on Broadway starts at 11:30am-get dressed and get to Times Square!
