Re: RAT (if not) now (when)

Getting restless last night, I looked on Playbill Online, and, of course, the 
top news stories were about how all the theatres in NY, DC, Chicago, etc. 
were shut down due to the disaster. In the story about NY, it was written, 
"There is no word if the TKTS both at the World Trade Center has been 
destroyed." 
Well, let's see.....two 110 story buildings collapsed, so i dont think the 
dinky little both has about to survive. it just seems like such a trivial 
point to bring up during such a horrible time. 
I also received an e-mail from colleague in theatre that just said that we 
should think about the "new producers" and how much money theatres are losing.
As much as i love and support the arts, there is a hell of a lot bigger 
problem going on now. 
Up here at Fordham, we are in a very odd position. We are on the island of 
manhattan and are feeling the eerie silence on the street. However, we are so 
far away from the actual disaster, that it sometimes feel like it hasnt 
actually happened. tonight is the first time that we have been able to smell 
any smoke. everything seems so peaceful up here that it makes you feel so 
guilty to do anything remotely normal. Including producing art.
