This is an appreciation post for some CRAZY WONDERFUL theatre people.

It takes a village to create ANYTHING and these folx are participating in educational dialogue on topics that are UNCOMFORTABLE for theatre artists.

I'm currently editing these for the podcast feed. In the meantime, if you know these people, give them a ring and tell them THANK YOU for engaging boldly in these discussions.

Life is going a mile a minute and I can't thank everyone individually. But I'm so honored they are giving their time and energy.

P.S. I will tag them when their episode publishes. This is just a quick way to put gratitude out into the universe.

I’m so excited about our next episode. It’s coming out next week but if you want to hear it sooner, it’s up and ready on Patreon.

It’s nonchalantly honest.

I’m proud of .kriz and Ethan Steimel for keeping it real.

I'm searching for someone in the wigs, hair, and makeup area of theatre who could join a podcast discussion this Sunday (11a-12:30p Eastern).

The topic is AI in Theatre Design for the Artistic Finance podcast.

We have reps from the other areas (projections, scenic, props, costumes, sound, lighting) but still searching for WHAM.

LMK.

P.S. Yes, yes, I know I already posted this photo once but it's the only one I have that's relevant.

Hi All,

I'm gathering designers together to talk about AI entering our workflows. But I'm actually struggling to find many who are utilizing it.

If you know of any designers who are using it, can you let me know? And better yet, can you ask them if they'd join a podcast panel to discuss?

I'm trying to gather 4 designers of each type. I think I have lighting and projections down. But all other areas, I'm all ears.

Comment here or email me at [email protected]

Thanks,
Ethan
