Re: “Inspiration: Turning abandoned buildings into theaters and turning landmarks into landmark productions”
"Mayfield, I also think people would come out to see things related to the neighborhood especially if people in the neighborhood were engaged in the process at some level: "Gateway art" so to speak."
ATL produced something like this for the Humana Festival in, I think, 2004, commissioning Naomi Iizuka to write a play about a Louisville neighborhood which used to house a bunch of slaughterhouses and staging it at an environmental site in that neighborhood. I see no reason the same could not be done in here. Abandoned buildings are are one of our major civic resources.

Re: “SOS: MAMMA MIA needs help”
Neal Patrick Harris in a wig maybe?
Alas, as much as this needs to happen -- there is no such thing as too many musical theatre roles for actors with non-musical-theatrey voices who play instruments, in my opinion -- the lawyer in me fears it will never come to pass. Too many real-life people would have to sign off on inflattering versions of themselves or else it would be sunk by libel suits before it ever got started. And that's a shame. SO SMOOTH.
