The Rat conference is garnering it's fair share of press. backstagewest.com has an article on rats invading downtown, if you are interested. LA Times on Sunday July 18th ran an article on the conference in the calendar section, by Don Shirley the editor and chief of the theatre dept. for the Times. (LATIMES.com?) LA Weekly has a featured article as well coming out today, but i cant figure out their e address. mitchell/Lee
