SF Bay Area Outrageous Fortune Conversation Feed #1

Decided not to go. But let's do the math: babysitter 2 hours travel time + 4 hours for event (6 hrs total) x $16 per hour = $96. Hmm? Maybe I'll just check out the live twitter feed (go to #newplay) and the TBA Chatterbox blog updates here.

For the past hour, it's been mostly introducing the background of the study and the research methods. Now Todd London is going over the chapters of the book. Lot's of talk about risk aversion and old models (Joe Papp model) that either don't work or don't exist. Alli Houseworth points out via twitter feed that there's a discrepancy between the finding that only 31% of AD's believe that audience is a obstacle to new play production and the complaint that playwrights aren't writing for "our audiences."

Anyway, check it out. I'll update when I can.
