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? ____________ Pauline __ pangione@gmail.com
