The Get Together

This week Joe and Jess tackle the issue of Broadway merchandizing and improvements that are slowly being made to the system. They also discuss feature film writing credits and changes proposed by the WGA. It's an enlightening example of how the theatre and film industries differ, and possibly what they can learn from one another. As always, these are big, complicated issues and we certainly don't have all the answers but we'd love to know what you think!

Joe and Jess (naturally) have a lot of thoughts about the CAA/ICM merger. If they decide to go ahead as planned and focus more on helping their clients with entrepreneurial pursuits, how will these new revenue streams benefit the talent? And how are they being protected and not taken advantage of? Also, does this matter if you aren't a movie star? Are any movie stars reading this? Let us know!

A few months ago, before Broadway reopened, Jess and Joe had a discussion about the shows that announced they would not be reporting their grosses for this season. They run down how industry professionals utilize these numbers and why freeing the data is important. What would you do with that information if it were publically available?

In this epsiode, Joe and Jess take on philanthropy. Specifically, they talk about large donations to small arts organizations and wonder why we rely on wealthy individuals, rather than our government, for support. One upside of this relationship is often the creation of brand new mediums for artists to play with and make new works that shape the future of theatre and entertainment.

How do you define theatre and does it matter? Jess and Joe get into the ongoing debate of how we are using the designation of theatre as the digital world expands. They also discuss who benefits from certain definitions. And stick around until the end to hear their take on ASL interpreters and how they get (or more likely, do not get) credit for translation of music.
