    Remember when musicals were books or plays first, musicals next, and then movies?

    I miss those days.

    So if it has an entirely new storyline then it’s NOT "Bring It On" is it? What you’re telling me is you developed your own project and are wrapping it in a well-known and marketable franchise in order to sell more tickets to tourists. STOP IT! Diablo Cody, stay away from my SVH! Broadway, stay out of movie theaters! Everyone go off to your own little corner until you can behave like civilized artists!

    Broadway? If all the straight-to-ABC-Family sequels are any indication, this musical will be performed at a community theater in Queens.

    @MizJenkins: Seriously. One of the things I'm loving about this new TV season are the few new (completely new) shows to hopefully replace Lost. I'm holding auditions for my next TV addiction.

    I'll believe it will change when I believe the under reprsentation of female directors will change.

    "This study will probably change the way we read scripts," says one director.


    Then again, probably not. The current generation of directors needs to die off, first.

    @NefariousNewt: Yeah, this will do very little, because Doodz are still the vast majority of ADs and directors and designers and... Women playwrights see get a bump in the 2010-11 season, but this information is hardly revolutionary. It's good to have some irrefutable stats to back up what women in theatre have been saying for, oh, maybe 40 years, though.

    Without hearing any context regarding a play at hand, I automatically assume a man has written it. The same thing tends to go for movie scripts. I don't know why, except I suppose I was raised not hearing much about women in those roles. Other professions (doctor, lawyer, CEO is a hit or miss) aren't quite the same as far as my gender assumptions, but it bothers me how quick I am to subconsciously assign masculine origins.

    @tonightineed is actually Mrs. Ziegler-Spock: Me too! Not just playwrights or screenwriters, but all writers I assume to be male, even journalists. And it makes me sad because all I've ever wanted to do is write and sometimes I feel like there's no chance because women aren't great writers, only good writers.


    See what you've done to me, American public schools????

    @woobie: Hurston? Walker? Giovanni? Collette?

    When I was a small nerdy girl practically all I read were lady writers, before they made me start with the textbooks in school (and other than Richard Scarry and Leo Leonni).


    GF, maybe you need to get out more?

    @tonightineed is actually Mrs. Ziegler-Spock: I assume that the writers of produced movies are male [despite being a professional reader and reading tons and tons of scripts by women], but I tend to not assume for playwrights and to assume female for novelists... maybe because the types of books I read [urban fantasy, young adult and romance] are predominantly written by women?

    Yeah - now they'll finally be skimming them right-side-up.

    The lights-dimming ceremony on Broadway always makes me verklempt. A great place to see it is W. 46th Street. Everybody stands out on the pavement and watches before show time. R.I.P., Bea!
