The Edge of the World Theater Festival presents
|
|
The return of an event which occurred during last year's EdgeFest,
introducing an open and constructive dialogue between these three
symbiotic entities. As with last year's roundtable, the festival
organizers' goal is not to simply have a "gripe session" but an
honest discussion of the relationship between artists, critics
and audience in Los Angeles theater. Participants will be encouraged
to pose questions that they really want answers for, that will
help them in this three-sided relationship.
This roundtable is not meant to solve problems or create plans,
it is just the opportunity for face-to-face dialogue, to discover
as many questions as answers.

Last year's roundtable attracted representatives of many of Los
Angeles' most significant theater companies (Actors' Gang, Bottom's
Dream, Celebration Theatre, City Garage, Moving Arts, Open Fist
Theatre, Co, Sacred Fools, Theatre of NOTE, as well as individual
artists (Robert Harders, Michael Farkash) and members of the press
(Wenzel Jones (LADCC), Rob Kendt and Scott Proudfit (Backstage
West), Steven Leigh Morris (LA Weekly) and Michael Phillips of
the LA Times. Our hope is to also have representatives of the
New Times, American Theatre and publications such as the Daily
Variety, Downtown News, fab!, Frontiers, Orange County Register,
Park LaBrea News and Venice Magazine as well as independent journalists
such as Jan Breslauer and David Mermelstein and critics who are
also very active as artists (Travis Holder, Randee Trabitz). We
also plan to make a concerted outreach to audience members: people
who attend theater regularly but are not artists themselves.
