Dubious

[edit]

The article says, "The theatre operates under regulations dictated by Actors' Equity Association." Does Actors' Equity dictate regulations, or does it negotiate them with the theater operators? I'm sure the operators sometimes feel dictated-to, as all bosses do when they have to deal with a powerful labor organization; but "dictated" is a highly loaded term, and should be used only where one side clearly has dictatorial power over the other. I doubt that's the case here. J. D. Crutchfield | Talk 15:06, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Past Productions

[edit]

I could add a list of past productions, maybe a table. Or should that be a separate article. I'm not sure what would be most appropriate here. Justinkrivers (talk) 15:51, 21 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It would be most appropriate to list only a few, truly notable or exemplary productions, if any, rather than a mere catalogue of past shows. A theater routinely puts on plays, and its ordinary activity is not in itself notable. J. D. Crutchfield | Talk 16:30, 21 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Expansion and Section revision

[edit]

I've been collecting some newspaper articles about the theatre, and would like to propose the following revisions: deletion of the season listings (which are old and outdated) and replacing it with a list of notable productions. Also, I think it would make sense to have separate sections about the theatre's founding and early history, its more recent work and new facility, and then maybe a section on developing new work/world premieres, since that seems like a notable core part of the organization's activities. Thoughts? Justinkrivers (talk) 16:43, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to remove the outdated list of past seasons, they seem not relevant here (in addition to being out of date). Justinkrivers (talk) 17:00, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've been focusing on early history because it's more labor intensive to access those articles. There's a whole slew of coverage from the Troy Record that I haven't delved into yet. Also, some significant works in more recent times, hoping to get to that early next year. Justinkrivers (talk) 14:36, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
