I'm talking to a few people now about different equipment and I'm beginning to create a 'business plan' to present to the School Board. I appreciate all the feedback the CB community has given me, it has been very useful. My next question is if I'm able to solicit funds on this site either...

Yes... been trying that. Also tried Justin.tv, and the Google Live thingy. Trying to set up a YouTubeLIVE account but its taking forever to know exactly what they require. I don't have much in uploads as, hmmm, I don't have the video setup I require. LoL (meant to sound sarcastic to...

Great resource, thanks! Yes, I know it 'can' be done but just looking for ways of 'how' it can be done. Talking with my IT guys and getting IP and/or server use isn't a problem... but at what cost effective manner is best to present to the Board for approval. I can deal with the copyright...

I did do a survey, and in the context of explaining the survey I added that in no way would streaming be the new form of viewing any production, but rather as an alternative to those that can't make it out to the venue ~ such as the elderly, disabled, or enlisted & overseas. The general...

Thats what I meant by 'value & ethics' of a performance. I have seen many students get the 'future star' attitude and they go around thinking their God's gift to the stage and then bark orders as to how THEY should perform. My argument isn't about teaching these students the 'hows & whys' but...

Yes. The venue shouldn't matter where its held, rather the type of performance of a copyriighted material being presented. A school (for example) is using students, not professional/paid persons, to perform a quality of work based on a previous 'professional' version of script. These students...

What I find interesting nowadays is the play-script acquirement. You pay a clearing house to release to you a script (about the same price as 20yrs ago!) and they email you the electronic version of it. With today's technology these scripts should be cheaper (to obtain). What bothers me is...

I went to a NAfME site and saw that there is a recorded webinar of the very topic... except its about an hour long. Need some time to dedicate watching it. However, yes... any musical piece performed from an original artist is copyrighted unless a Rights Release is met. It makes me sick to...

Started research on this and this is my first stop... but looking for some answers, opinions, and comments about recording School Concerts using both video and audio formats and then selling these to create revenue for the Music Program for the school. Example a parent would pay $5 for the...

Yep! Emily is my mentor, or vise-versa depending on the subject! I visited the Peru Auditorium a few years back and was amazed there were two moving lights hung. Emily and Dave Bish have been directing the last performances. It was just towards the end of last school year (to welcome the...

For anyone in New York, what "credentials" are needed to "teach" Theater Tech?? I am a long time TD for the local school and soon to be the TM, but there is no Tech Crew. When the do auditions, its always for roles or 'back stage crew hand'... never do they see a point for acquiring an actual...
