Awesome find!
Just found a 2010 dissertation from U of Missouri called The Theatre Lobby Experience: The Audience’s Perspective by David Kilpatrick. So far it looks utterly fascinating and should provide a wealth of information. Can’t wait to dive in!

The Conversation After The Show
The Conversation After The Show
2AMt
When a theater is only open to the public for 15 minutes before and after a performance—and is otherwise closed and locked, with the public let in and, if necessary, kicked out—the question arises of how to make the performing arts a conversation, a participatory activity more articulated than active listening. Here’s a simple story of how that engagement...
Getting to the ‘What’ of it | HowlRound →
Much of the conference was spent discussing who Broadway should be attracting (in terms of both audience and industry), how Broadway could be courting said targeted audiences (largely capitalizing on social networking), and why theater. The why was most succinctly and quotably summed up by Gregory Mosher: “You can’t Google a broken heart. That’s what we need Shakespeare for.” A conversation about...

from Ghost light: an introductory handbook for dramaturgy
By Michael M. Chemers
In some theaters, dramaturges have the responsibility of curating lobby displays. Such displays can take virtually any form, but many theaters have display cases or other hardware especially designed for this kind of presentation. It is an opportunity for the designers to showcase their work by displaying rendering...
Lessing’s Birthday →
Gotthold Ephraim Lessing.
How to begin to describe such a person?
Produced playwright at the age of 16. Critic. Polyglot. Scholar. Historian. Philosopher. Theologian. Translator. Interpreter. Social Critic. Activist. Trickster. Moral atheist. Not Jewish, he is a hero to Jews, but was also a hero to Nazis (after a bizarre fashion). Not Muslim, he remains one of the most sensitive interpreters...
Some free writin' in the neighborhood of a thesis...
This topic has been in my head for a while — for sure. It’s obvious that theatre is a passion, next to design, and I love the opportunity to bring them together. I guess there’s also a connection to education that I gravitate toward — is it just education or is it pedagogy. Teaching young performers for so long (it’s been 10+ years at this point) I’ve been...
