Radio Milwaukee’s Post

🌟 One question I get a lot is: how do you choose your shows? 🌟 As with most projects, there's no one single way a theatre production is born. But for me, everything starts with the text. If the text excites me in some way, it goes onto my Dream List. It might not happen immediately, but it’s there, waiting for the right moment. But a great text alone isn't enough. We need the Golden Triangle: a stellar script, a director whose vision aligns perfectly with the piece, and a suitable venue. Without these three elements, a production simply can't happen. And, of course, there's always the financial puzzle - a fantastic play with a large cast might have to wait due to budget constraints. Smaller works with fewer actors are often less risky and easier to produce. So, I’m curious - what piece of drama would YOU like to see produced? Drop your suggestions below. Who knows, one day I might come knocking at your door, asking you to join us in bringing it to life. 😉 #Theatre #Brussels #Drama #Community #TheBridgeTheatre

Today's decision by New York Governor Kathy Hochul to indefinitely put off implementing congestion pricing has plenty of people in the New York City tri-state area relieved. It would have imposed an added $15 cost on cars entering New York City below 60th Street. One sector that should be pleased about the move is Broadway. The entire theatre district is located within the congestion pricing area. Traditionally, a third of Broadway tickets are sold to residents of the greater New York City region. And not all of those show goers take mass transit to get there. In fact, concerns over late trains or buses, or poor transit options, drive plenty of audience members to get in the car and head to Midtown. It's no secret that Broadway tickets are expensive. So is gas. Drivers have already traveled toll roads to get to the city. And if street parking is unavailable, well, garages can cost $30, $40 and even $50 for an evening. Want to grab dinner? A drink? You're looking at a very costly night out. Broadway ticket sales to buyers in the tri-state have not returned to pre-pandemic levels. An added cost just to get to the theatre was not going to help bring them back. #Broadway #Theatre #NYC

Broadway was first nicknamed the “Great White Way” back in 1902 due to the bright lights of the marquees, billboards, and posters. The Olympia was the first Broadway theater to use electric lights in 1895. But the theater scene is not where the internationally known, north-south thoroughfare got its name. Broadway is a translation from the Dutch phrase brede weg, or "broad road." Here’s a fun fact: Broadway follows the “Mohican Trail” created by the Lenape. #propertymanagement #propertymanager #propertycare #propertymaintenance #homemaintenance #nyc #residential #manhattan #history #broadway

When we discuss equity in education, we must also discuss accessibility and inclusion. It’s not just that schools should offer arts courses for their many benefits; it’s that ALL STUDENTS should have ways to engage in their school’s arts programs. Because ALL students deserve those benefits. If you know a school that needs some support, encourage them to contact us. If you know a school that’s already modeling inclusive, equitable practices, submit them for our ArtsEd Spotlight! #accessiblearts #equitableeducation #artseducation #specialeducation #washingtonschools #deia #equityinaction

For this year's celebration, it will be a little more comfortable... 🤩 One hundred years after the first season, the Welttheater Einsiedeln will be staged as an open-air theater for the 17th time in 2024. For the 100th anniversary, there will be covered grandstands for the audience for the first time. These are currently being erected by our crew members in front of the baroque monastery church ⛪ 🛠️. They are nimble. Every move is perfect, and the grandstands are growing day by day, as you can see in the following video 😊 #eventstructures #eventbau #temporarysolutions #eventsolution #buildingbigmoments #buildingmemories #sustainability #connectingyou

"Where would we end up if everyone could do whatever they wanted?" – But perhaps this is precisely the key – to self-awareness, further development and overcoming personal problems. In our new episode, we get to know Mohammad & Hussein Eliraqui and the ACT e.V. | Führe Regie über dein Leben theater group. Here, young people work together to develop plays based on the "veto principle" on topics that are hot on their minds. The rule of thumb here is that everyone can do (or not do) what they want – within a certain framework. This approach encourages personal responsibility and self-reflection on the part of the participants. The results are fascinating, sometimes provocative and sometimes moving. For this episode, we accompanied the group working on their new piece "A safe haven" („Zuflucht“). See for yourself. If you like to support meet THE GOOD ONES 👉🏻 https://lnkd.in/e4ag7FsF #VetoPrinzip #theatre #goodbringsgood You can always say NO!
