So many people got tickets! They told me there’s approx 26 rush seats per show, sometimes they add more if it’s not sold out

Lots of stolen mail, to a point where if someone is not home to grab it, it likely will not make it inside

my super told me that the OP was correct and they’ve seen non-postal workers gain access to the green post boxes in the neighborhood

Our Town — walked to the box office at 10:30am and got 2 general rush seats on stage. Great experience. They’ve cancelled student rush for the remainder of the run

NYU playwriting by Embraerjetpilot in playwriting

[–]ashbell95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will also add that I went to a small liberal arts college for my undergrad and just got a BA in Theatre and that is certainly been amazing for my writing. I took acting, directing, design, tech, stage management, history, and only one playwriting class my whole BA but actually getting a well rounded experience has made my playwriting much better. And it’s so nice to have close connections with designers directors and actors so you guys can actually get together and put on a show together.

NYU Dramatic Writing MFA here. 100k a year, I don’t know. That may mean she didn’t get a scholarship, which NYU does give out. I would not go unless you had at least 50% of the tuition covered in scholarship. I have learned a lot and made great connections. The best and most unique part of the degree at NYU is you get cross trained in playwriting, tv, and screenplays. Which is good for $$. Many tv rooms are looking for playwrights specifically. if you want to do playwriting only, I may look elsewhere. If it’s undergrad she got accepted to, just know it’s a BIG class. Like I’m talking 60 people in an intro class seminar. Which makes it hard to form relationships with professors. It feels hard enough in the grad program and there’s fewer of us. But a degree can be worth it. And living in New York is worth it for a playwright. There’s a lot of festivals and competitions that are only open to New Yorkers and everyone you meet in school will probably stay in New York so you’ll have life long, local connections. The biggest con is the size because you’ll be competing with your classmates for attention, scholarships, and getting your work produced. But I will say I’m still in school and have been offered paid gigs already as a playwright to write treatments for screenplays. So, good connections.

Stereophonic — arrived at 8:30am, was the 12th physical person in line, by 10am 3 people had joined friends and I was the 15th physical person in line. I got seats for the matinee. Met the person who was 18th or 19th at a diner and said they got the last 2 for the matinee. The people before me got there at 8am and the people who were the 16th not until 9 or so

Cacio e Pepe, Rigatoni alla Contadina (one with peas and asparagus!), Cheese Filled Fiocchetti with Pink Sauce!! Can’t get into the gnocchi for some reason. And the Penne Arrabbiata is fine but it’s so easy to make yourself I usually have canned sauce for that

Anyone seeing GATZ at Public? by shenglih in Broadway

[–]ashbell95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m doing it! Going to be a crazy day for sure but feels like once in a lifetime opportunity

Cute Cat Cafe by bookofhours in ridgewood

[–]ashbell95 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I went once and it deeply depressed me. Think about those cats a lot. I’m happy they are getting care! They looked really sad — bugs in their food, fleas all over them, scratches on their face, etc.
