This. #2amt
Michael Bontatibus with a pitch that will sound familiar to #2amt folks: #neverbedark
Here the offer bolstering a flagging edge of the performance field in exchange for access to an audience that would never come to your space by letting them use your space.

Here are my two cents on this week's fed policy shiftiness and the threat to our theaters and #theater makers. If you are like me, you might have had your head on a swivel following the updates, particularly regarding federal grant funding. Opinions = my own #theatrebsky #theatersky #arts #2amt
Question for @dominicdandrea.bsky.social & the group #2amt - how do we explain to folks not in NY what Foreman did and why it matters? What artifacts of his work (of any non-commercial artist really) can be used to really convey the impact?
The Rude Mechs were doing recreations of seminal works but
rep is a fantastic way for you to build
narrative around your company and establish performers as known commodities #2amt
bring back actual rep #2amt
Them: There's no money to fund the arts!

Aaah, back in the #2amt clubroom. G'day, friends.
You want to watch this #2amt
We have them frequently at TCG, but it's mostly executive leaders. Diff from #2amt where folks from all parts of the ecology where contributing to the conversation regularly.
Yes, in the framework for what Peter Brook had to say about this dynamic, it's a wondering I share... #2amt
I am so here for the #2amt hashtag. It's like back in the days of the #FailWhale
yes and
plays that walk away from the thing that we’re all thinking about in waking to a place where we can dream or love or have sword fights with gingerbread swords.
plays can respond to the moment without talking about the moment #2amt
One more performance to add. The Things Around Us by Ahamefule J. Oluo. I saw this at the TBA festival in Portland in September and it’ll be at the Under the Radar Festival in January & at the Intiman Theatre in April/May in Seattle. #2amt utrfest.org/program/the-...
Alright. So there have got to be smarter and better studied people who've thought more deeply about this. Is storytelling the OG human technology which enabled the development and dissemination of the technologies that came after? #2amt
I'm in a lighting booth pushing a button for the first time in 20(?) years and realizing I had forgotten how much fun it can be to just be that small cog sometimes. #2amt
OMG you are the best I forgot to watch Janet Planet #2amt
Woman of Flowers, Kaite O’Reilly; Whose Your Baghdaddy: Or How I Started the Iraq War, Marshall Pailet; I’m Gonna Marry You Tobey McGuire, Samantha Hurley; The Last Thing I’ll Ever Write, Adam Lauver; Amelie; Janet Planet (Annie Baker movie), Illinoise, Noah Kahan Live @ Fenway Park Concert #2amt
I actually had Caught on our 2020 season for the place I was ADing. BUT--i am still well and truly out of the game cuz the title is vaguely familiar but I don't know every brilliant thing and it sounds like everything I love ;) you know me well, friend. #2amt
Not new & not as active as I think you'd like best, But I think you'd dig the game of Christopher Chen's "Caught".
And if you've been well & truly out of the game Duncan MacMillan's Every Brilliant Thing. Interactive 1-person show that really leans into audience ownership of the experience.
#2amt
Following. I haven't read a new play in.....years. so out of the loop. #2amt
With a shout out to BJP and The Subtext podcast...
What plays are filling you up right now. On the page or the stage?
#2amt
😆 but but but David! I thought we weren't going down this path. Though not gonna lie, I do find this quite amusing. #2amt
You'll appreciate this: so the Radio Theater title is -er, though I might have chosen -re, and the 1930s era movie theater where we performed this weekend uses -re in its signage.
