Rents should be capped at a fixed proportion of local wages tbh
Let the l*ndl*rds and bosses fight it out instead
Vicky Spratt@Victoria_Spratt
The way landlords put rents up is out of line with other goods and services. I have a mobile phone. In my contract, there is a clause stating how any price increase will be calculated. Nothing like this in private rental contracts. Landlords can hike rents as much as they wish…

tl;dr - we can’t have nice things bcos late-stage capitalism
Josh Ellis@jzellis
If you ever wanna know why capitalism sucks, think about how many people you've known who wanna open a 24 hour coffeeshop and bookstore (with a cat) if they ever get rich vs how many rich people ever actually open a 24 hour coffeeshop and bookstore (with a cat).

A little bit of research!
I'm making a list of musicals intended to be performed as one act. I'm particularly interested in those that run around the 90-minute mark, but interested in all one-act-ers nonetheless! Throw in your suggestions 😀

Agreed! Musical theatre has forever been an artform of adaptation. (OKLAHOMA!, HOW TO SUCCEED, LA CAGE, PHANTOM, RENT, HAMILTON)
There are different challenges when the idea isn’t adapted. But skilled and well-supported writers can write a great show from any starting point.

💯
Audiences get much better musicals when the artists writing them love and care about the project.
Kudos to all the theatres, producers, directors etc bold and brave enough to help nurture exciting new projects 🙌🏼

@mincemeatlive exists because @The_Lowry & @newdiorama supported a group of artists to write a musical that THEY came up with & were passionate about. As @MusicDJC & @AdamLenson both said at the #UKMTConference, venues/producers: support writers to spend their time writing (2/3)

Can't believe I'm saying this!! But I've been nominated for a @LambdaLiterary Award for Bisexual Non-Fiction!
I never thought #BisexualMenExist would be nominated for an award! The little book that could haha!
So excited for this! Now...do I go to NYC for the awards? 🤔

@MusicDJC @JethroCompton Congratulations, friend!! Psyched for you and the whole show team!

When it takes a good 30 seconds to figure out whether it’s a parody or not 😅

To help inspire our Grade 9 songwriters @AIS_Eagles we have been using selections from the 30-Day Lyric Writing Challenge by @theedbell. These quick warmups have been great for establishing a safe environment for students to take risks and communicate initial ideas. #mypmusic

I think this is the moment when Mandy Patinkin is supposed to step forward and still the cacophony by saying, "Order. Design. Tension. Balance. Harmony."
