The Evolution of the Gailey Road blog site

The Gailey Road blog site, which was launched in October 2008 and has been up for almost three months, has evolved to focus on five themes:

1. News about the theatre company itself, for example, last Monday’s introduction of Gailey Road’s new intern Monica Nunes.
2. The story of producing Harriet’s House which will be performed at Hart House Theatre this coming June, for example, next Monday’s story of becoming part of the Toronto Pride Festival.
3. News about professional development and networking opportunities for theatre artists and enthusiasts, for example, the theatre classes and workshops at Hart House listed in the December 28, 2009 entry.
4. Ideas about generating new writing for the theatre, for example, the November 26, 2009 entry on a playwriting group developed in Michigan.
5. Information and descriptions about contemporary research-informed theatre, for example, the entry on the Pastor Phelps project on December 8, 2009.

The blog also lists current women-centred, research-informed plays and productions I’m following.

The blog site has attracted an audience of theatre artists and playwrights interested in independent theatre production, professional development and networking opportunities, the generation of new writing and women-centre, research-informed theatre, both within and outside of Canada.

In my next blog, I will continue the story of producing Harriet’s House with Episode 3: Becoming Part of the Toronto Pride Festival.

All the best,
Tara
