General

Ran worked whole show. For the last time on the rehearsal stage, woot!

I've noticed that Ron has given the same direction more than twice, and he still has to tell you as if it's the first time, WRITE it down, so that he can improve things and not re-block you.  TWO WEEKS!! Let's have focus when we are in the theatre so we improve things.  THANK YOU!!!

Accident/Incident

Dumb Stuff it's fun to find out

1930-1940
The Great Depression

The 1930s arrived with bells and breadlines. The number of Broadway people affected by the stock market crash was uncountable. Everyone from producers, such as Flo Ziegfeld - who closed his hit production of Whoopie so that he could rush it into film production - to ushers, whose theaters remained dark, was affected by the crash. The 1929-30 season produced 233 productions. The 1930-31 season was reduced to 187 productions. It has been calculated that the talent that Hollywood absorbed from Broadway was in the vicinity of 75%.

 

This fall in new productions set a trend that (with the exception of the 1931-32 season) would continue for quite some time. New productions on Broadway dipped to 98 shows in 1939; for the first time since the turn of the century, there were less than 100 shows being offered.

Vaudeville, the lowbrow cousin, seemed to be taking an even larger stick in the eye. In 1925, there were approximately 1500 theaters in the vaudeville circuits; by 1930, only 300 were left. Of the 700 RKO circuit theaters, only 5 were still offering a "vaudeville only" bill; the rest were sharing their space or providing bills solely filled with films. RKO, the successor of the Keith-Orpheum vaudeville Circuit, then included the NBC radio network and RKO Pictures. The theaters owned by this entertainment organization were wired for the presentation of the new "talking" pictures. (from: http://www.talkinbroadway.com/bway101/5.html
