Check out an interview with writer/director Matt Slaybaugh at Columbus Underground, in which he declares, "We're mad as hell and we're not going to take it anymore". Matt also talked to the Dispatch's Michael Grossberg last week. and some excepts from that conversation show up on his Theater Talk blog. Find out why Dirty Math might be like Reduced Shakespeare Company's Complete Wrks of William Shakespeare (abridged). UPDATE: We're also in the new OSU Weekly. 2009-03-30T17:31:43+00:00 http://avltheatre.com/index.php/dm_site/dirty_math_t-shirts_from_skreened http://avltheatre.com/index.php/dm_site/dirty_math_t-shirts_from_skreened#When:16:03:32Z Get 'em here, get 'em while they're hot.

Completely flabbergasted. The Dow dropped below 7,000 for the first time since 1997. Read all about at the NY Times website. This isn't a small thing, my friends. Like it or not, this crisis is everywhere, and if it hasn't yet, it's soon gonna hit you where you live. But what are we supposed to do? Save, save, save, right? Maybe not. As Paul Krugman pointed out yesterday, a saving glut is part of what got us into this mess. And I'm sure we all remember when Japan was criticized for not encouraging its citizens to shop the country out of a recession. So, wait, at a time when my economic future looks more tenuous than ever, I should start spending my money? I'm definitely not suggesting that, but it is important to be aware of the paradox. For now, save well, spend wisely, and keep your eye open for the turn of the tide. (Krugman's blog is as good a place as any to watch for that.) 2009-03-02T20:18:19+00:00 http://avltheatre.com/index.php/dm_site/dirty_events_are_taking_over http://avltheatre.com/index.php/dm_site/dirty_events_are_taking_over#When:15:43:03Z What's a theatre-patron to do? Believe me, we sympathize, we really do. You're excited about Dirty Math, and thrilled that your favorite company won that reader's poll, but you're not sure when you wanna see the show. And AVLT's not making it much easier. They've put together a veritable buffet of special events to tempt you. And yes, most of them involve food. Hooray!The best way to get hooked-up for these events is Facebook. You can check out the details, see who else is gonna be there, and RSVP. You can even click "Invite People To Come" and do just that.We'll have more details online elsewhere pretty soon, but the early adopters will all be spending their time on the Official Dirty Math Facebook page. 2009-02-27T15:43:03+00:00
