July 14, 2008: Butts in Seats, Censorship (revisited), and Urinetown LawsuitsÂ2008 by Neighborhood Stage Productions, LLC This week we are joined by Joe Patti, author of the popular arts management blog "Butts in the Seats". Joe tells us about his blog, some of the great points he has covered in the last few years, and even hangs around to discuss some of the theatre news stories with us. We continue our "Broadway News (in five minutes or less)" segment, have some more theatre news, and our ever famous "Editor's Gone Wild" headlines and as always...tell you "What's New to Do".
