While reading this book I could not shut up about Sarah Schulman. She is a compelling writer. Her thoughts towards the end made me think a lot about how theatre and markets have changed in the last 24 years and how they haven't. What can I do to establish and legitimize my own narratives? Where do I find financial allies in those endeavors?

Honestly I haven't digested this book enough yet to say how I feel about it, but I'm glad to have finally read it.

I didn't finish this, mostly because I lost interest in the stuff about advertising and I though some of the author's statements were either outdated or based in assumptions without much proof. There were also a few typos that made it hard to consider the author credible. I did enjoy the discussion of Rent and its theatrical context, though.
