RE: RAT RE: New Thread

[Francis DellaVecchia <francis@eyelumination.com>]

Here are some of the many others,
from one of the many others who's been lurking on this list for a while 
now.

Open Fist Theatre Co.
Moving Arts
Bottoms Dream
National Fringe
Wolfskill
Theatre of NOTE
Road Theater
Ghost Road Co.
ASK Theater Projects
Ensemble Studio West

and more that I now forget.
In addition to starting our own listserv, cross promoting through 2 for 1 
coupons, creating free BCT nights for theater people, gobbling up a huge 
chunk of the recent L.A. Weekly awards, and of course...partying, we are 
now creating the first annual Edge of the World Theater Festival.  And 
it's all, to a great degree, RAT inspired.
