The Shoppers Who Supply Costumes For New York City’s Ballet Companies Rely On The Garment District

And the Garment District is even more specialized, and special, than regular consumers know: “Several of his go-to shops won’t ever be seen by the public — they’re tucked onto upper floors of old commercial buildings. But the people who rely on them — Broadway costume designers, theater shoppers, fabric sellers and buyers, fashion designers and more — are all clued in to Choo’s hidden world.”

What’s Going On With Internal Turmoil At SAG-AFTRA Just As A Writers’ Guild Strike Looms?

Actors who have spent considerable time accusing SAG-AFTRA officials of lining their own pockets do it again, and then add a laundry list of accusations: “Complaints about residuals and foreign royalties trust funds, alleged conflict of interest and such matters as reimbursement of automobile mileage expenses for union travel, frequent flyer mile usage, cellphone plans, ownership of union buildings, the conduct of an independent music royalties organization (SoundExchange), the union’s recent deal with startup Exactuals for residuals direct deposit, reimbursement of bar association dues for the union’s general counsel, attendance at conferences by union executives, the hiring of a top expert on royalties and the fact that union executive director David White is no longer on active status as a member of the California bar (which is only required for practicing lawyers).”

Jane Jacobs Versus The Point Zero One Percent

And, of course, versus Robert Moses. A new documentary shows how “through a combination of grassroots activism, fundraising and persistence, Jacobs blocked Moses and successive city overlords from running Fifth Avenue through the historic Washington Square, tearing down much of SoHo and Little Italy to make way for a billion-dollar expressway, and building a six-lane highway up Manhattan’s west side.”

Remember The Ghost Light Project? What Have Theatres Actually Done?

Theatre artist Daniel Park wondered, so he asked: “As a queer person of color and member of Philadelphia’s theater community, I’m invested in and directly affected by your participation in the Ghostlight Project. The movement called itself a chance for organizations to ‘make, or renew, a pledge to stand for and protect the values of inclusion, participation, and compassion for everyone.’ On the movement’s website, it listed a large number of potential, actionable, ongoing actions for participants to take after the event on 1/19. I’m writing to find out what movements and plans your organization has begun since 1/19/17 to put this commitment into effect, outside of producing art.”

The Path To Success For A Ballet Company That Has Lasted 20 Years On The Border Between Iowa And Illinois

So this is how it started, two decades ago: “Joedy Cook was a 40-something stay-at-home mother in 1996 when she decided the Quad-Cities needed a professional ballet company. She went to the board of directors of the Cassandra Manning Ballet Theatre, where she volunteered at the time, and got the go-ahead. Ballet Quad-Cities kicked off with one paid dancer and a $25,000 budget.”
