“There is a problem on the so-called commercial stage in New York. The price of a ticket is exorbitant, and there are no longer original productions possible, apparently, on the commercial stage. They are all plays that were taken from either England or smaller theaters, off-Broadway theaters, and so on. The one justification there used to be for the commercial theater was that it originated everything we had, and now it originates nothing. But the powers that be seem perfectly content to have it that way. They don't risk anything anymore, and they simply pick off the cream.” WayPlayProblemSeemsUsedTakenRiskStageNew YorkPicksEnglandTheaterOriginalsProductionsUsed To BeJustificationCreamTicketsBroadway Author:Arthur Miller

“I remember on a Friday afternoon getting a phone call from Grant Simmons saying, "Mike," we got to be pretty good friends; "Mike, the Sheriff is closing us down on Monday. If you'd like to drive into the studio tomorrow morning, you can have anything you want." So rather than go in and take home piles and piles of cels of Spider-Man what did I take home? Two pages of original art that got sent out to the west coast. Now of course if I'd have taken all the rest of that stuff home I could probably have retired a lot earlier.” IfsMenWantArtTwoHomeRememberCoursesStuffMorningTakenTomorrowPagesOriginalsWestPhonesStudiosGrantsAfternoonGood FriendCoastMondayFridaySpidersMikeRetiredClosingPhone CallsSpider ManWest CoastSheriffsTomorrow MorningOriginal ArtFriday Afternoon Author:Mike Royer
