		<description><![CDATA[To crawl or not to crawl, that is the question?

This week our kids turned 11 months old. I cannot believe it. Only one more month until a full year has passed since our lives changed forever. Even though they were born 5.5 weeks early, they have hit most of their milestones on time. However, it seems that many of their little friends are crawling up a storm, and they are not. They are almost crawling, and spend most of their time in crawling position, leading forward as far as they can to grab toys, but they just haven’t figured out yet how to make those legs and arms move in sync to get somewhere.

This has led to a conundrum. <a href="http://actingupstage.com/the-year-of-the-child/the-year-of-the-child-road-trip#post-5437" class="more-link">More</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How do we get audiences in? On Ken Davenport’s blog, he’s spoken often of building a brand image for Broadway outside the Great White Way – increasing visibility in other mediums so that people are wont to see a play because they they've been exposed to the industry through TV, in the movies, on their iPad, etc. Unfortunately, the most direct representation of the showtune mecca in mass entertainment was the recently axed Smash, a TV musical drama which serialized the building of a Broadway show. <a href="http://actingupstage.com/global-news/out-there-does-anybody-really-notice#post-5395" class="more-link">More</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Just a few days left of Falsettos and I have survived my first major foray juggling being a parent and a producer. It wasn’t easy though.

In the past, everyone in my life knew that production time was going to be intense. I have to work long hours and give up all of my evenings and weekends to be at the theatre. But this year, for the first time, there were two little people who didn’t necessarily understand that. <a href="http://actingupstage.com/falsettos-posts/the-year-of-the-child-the-final-countdown#post-5373" class="more-link">More</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every Tuesday at Falsettos we have “Choose Your Own Adventure Post-show Chats.” A new initiative at Acting Up Stage this year, it gives audiences the choice of three discussions with field experts. Last week, I was moderating a chat on “Growing Up With Gay Parents”.

One of the attendees grew up with two moms and was telling us her story of how difficult it was to have gay parents, while growing up in suburbia in the late 90s. It sounds like the fact that her mom was a lesbian really played a major role in her socialization during her adolescence. <a href="http://actingupstage.com/the-year-of-the-child/the-year-of-the-child-the-world-will-know#post-5360" class="more-link">More</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week, Roundabout announced a part of their 2013-2014 season: a revival of Kander and Ebb’s Cabaret, starring - and we were just as shocked as you were - Alan Cumming. Yep, the same nightcrawling, spice managing, currently knife hallucinating, Alan Cumming who rose to fame by baring his behind and earning himself a Tony Award in the process in another Roundabout production back in 1998. Wait – make that another Roundabout production of the very same show set to be revived next season. Alan Cumming as the Emcee: Take Two. <a href="http://actingupstage.com/global-news/out-there-who-cares-so-what#post-5353" class="more-link">More</a>]]></description>
