Steve on Broadway (SOB) has a very poignant column out today about George Carlin. It’s sweetly memorable with a personal touch, and he notes that unlike contemporaries like Robin Williams, Carlin never did a Broadway show. Kind of surprising, when you think about it, for such a big name.
However, a little research reveals a CNN […]
I’m afraid my internet connection punked out on me at the end of the Blog-Off, and I didn’t make all 24 posts in 24 hours. But I had a lot of help from guest bloggers, and here is one article by Dana Pellebon, an actor, writer, and producer from Madison, WI.

It used to be simple. You met an agency that you liked and you were presented with an agency contract that you could comfortably sign. But, it doesn’t work like that anymore. What do I mean by that? […]
As we come back to following the progress of July 20th, the GREAT BLOG OFF around the globe, we come to Newfoundland, home of Artistic Fraud. Specializing in “chorus based work,” the group is directed by Jillian Keiley and Robert Chafe.
All About Numbers
As the video on their site will tell you, in the past 9 […]
Welcome to the first post of the Great Blog Off here at B5Media! It’s part of our charity drive to raise money for the Actor’s Fund.

A Collaborative Approach
“The power of theatre and […]
As we chase June 20th around the world, we find ourselves in Sydney, Australia, where the Belvoir Street Theatre is hosting Ride On company’s production of “An Oak Tree.” The creation of playwright Timothy Crouch, it’s an interesting exercise in the unknown.
Two Actors, One Script
The concept is as simple as it is radical: one actor […]
I know, you were all so stumped you weren’t able to figure out the clues to who said what, so here are the answers. Remember, the choices for celebrity quotes were: John Lithgow, Kristin Chenoweth, Brooke Shields, L. Ron Hubbard, and Gray Miller (well known B5Media Entertainment blogger, dontcha know).

So it wasn’t terribly surprising when the original Suessical, based on the work of Theodore Geisl (Dr. Suess) failed to recoup its original investment. Unlike some other shows - like Donny Osmond’s Yankee Doodle Dandy, which closed opening night […]
Avenue Q (winner of the 2004 Tony for Best Musical) has been making the rounds of my friends of late. I confess to being kind of surprised that it took them so long; my friends, even the ones not from NYC, tend to be pretty aware of current issues and trends, and the Sesame Street […]
