MELLIE:Are the contractual things we need to take into
consideration as we design marketing materials for "Art"--e.g. I am assuming
that we need to include Christopher Hampton as translator in addition to Yasmina
Reza as author?? Any font size proportions, etc.?? CYNTHIA/BREANNA:Cynthia,
can you design us a poster or is that Breanna's job now??In either case can we
start throwing around ideas? NOTE: the name of the show is 'Art'WITH
the single quotes CYNTHIACan you write us a long and short press
release?Can you get any of the papers to run it?Do you have contacts at e.g.
WERU so that we could do an interview of a 'teaser' scene on the radio?? The
guys are going gangbusters on learning their lines, so we would be ready any
time.Do you think we should try to get anyone out to review it? ____________
