Hi guys. This was written by fellow A.R.T. alum Ashley Wren Collins:

For your interest, interviews I did with Diane Paulus, Anne Bogart, Jack Cummings, Marian Seldes, and David Staller, for a piece called “‘The Play’s the Thing”: Getting Butts in the Seats” in THE HUFFINGTON POST:

From Larry Moss in L.A. I’m wondering if we can get something like this going in Seattle…

Hello all,

Today’s paper has an article in the “D” section about how London’s National Theater is now broadcasting their plays live around the world for audiences in certain movies theaters.

This is a rare chance to see London theatre without leaving L.A. and the review of the quality of the plays was sterling.

Go to the National Theatre Home page:

Www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/ntlive

And you can sign up for Emails alerts. Prices are reasonable and you can keep up with the London Theatre scene without having to fly to England.

Next season’s offerings are: HAMLET, FRANKENSTEIN, THE CHERRY ORCHARD, FELA!

and A DISAPPEARING NUMBER.

Check it out….Hollywood’s best kept secret!
