Emerging Art Productions update

Although we like to use this blog as a broad theatre news and discussion forum, we also try to update the readers on Emerging Art Production news when it comes up. As most of our readers know Justin and I have been working for almost six months now to generate grant money in support of our 2009 production of Wood, by Julianne Wick Davis and Dan Collins, to learn more check here. We applied back in September for a grant with the Canada Council, and we are eagerly anticipating word from them in April. Next up we have two grant deadlines with the Toronto and Ontario Arts Councils. We met with Margo Charlton at the TAC last week. She gave us some great advice for grant writing and invited us to a grant writting workshop in January. So now it is crunch time. Two grants in less than two months. We are both learning a lot about what it takes to get these things done, and hopefully we will be learning even more if we actually get any money. Below I have posted the video of Nick Blaemire, composer of the Broadway musical Glory Days - don't worry you weren't the only one that missed it. Anyway, Nick sings Wood's, stand-out ballad "I'm Out" in the clip below.
