publicity

http://www.pitch.com/Issues/2005-09-08/culture/stage.html

Here's a bit in the Pitch about Killer Joe. It isn't exactly accurate, but hey, any publicity and all that. The people in the picture are named wrong, to begin with.

"People fell in quickly: a sound designer from the Folly, costume and set pros from the crew at the KC Repertory Theatre."

This bit irks me, because I'm the only one not mentioned. But I understand, the author is trying to make it seem like "important" people are working on the show. This sentence is a good example of how the whole thing isn't quite accurate.

I remember doing a production of the Wizard of Oz -- Kansans doing Oz, how quaint *gag* -- and one of the (only) previews didn't mention the actors at all, only that we were using a real dog to play toto. They gushed for paragraphs about how cute the dog was.

Never work with animals or children, so the saying goes. Oh well.
