University to Spirit Square due to complaints about the plays subject matter.
MTA says THANKS to the Vance Theatrical Organization and Guest speaker George Parides,
President of North Carolina Arts and Entertainment Center/Wilmington for making our first
meeting this year a big success. If you missed Ruthless! then you don't rea lly know what
depths "going for the part" really entails.
Chris Zink, formerly of Pembroke State is the new TD at Catawba. Simon Donoghue has
announced his departure from Theatre Charlotte. He's returning to Belmont Abbey. Denise
Mallory-Hubbard,also of Theatre Charlotte, is moving to Wilmington to continue her
education.
The MTA script library is still in need of a home. If you or your organization can give these homeless waifs a home, give Ginger Heath a call. Ginger reports a big "thank you" to Doug Robinson for his recent donation to the library. If you've got any scripts just lying about, give Ginger a call or just bring them to the next meeting.
The MTA home page is finally online with Charlotte's Web: (http://www.charweb.org/arts/mta/mtapg.htm). Word has been sent forth about our web site throughout the World Wide Web. We're already listed at Theatre Central: (http://www.theatre-central.com). Check us out. If your group is not listed just get your info to Tom Hollis and it will be included in the next iteration of our web site.
Note the change in starting time for the November meeting. We will have Food and
Fellowship at 5:00pm instead of 5:30pm because of the early curtain time.
From Dan Shoemaker: "As you may or may not know I am part owner of the Rainbow Path Bookstore, and we would like to offer the following discounts to MTA members who order scripts from Dramatists Play Service and Samuel French. MTA Members can order scripts from us at a 20% discount off the list price and free shipping if the scripts are picked up at the store. We can ship out of town at book rate to those members who are unable to pick them up here. The scripts are non-refundable and we can invoice your organization. Yo u may order as many as you need, and a normal order takes about a week. For more information call The Rainbow Path at 332-3404 or 1-800-294-8896."
