setting (up) the stage

So, lately, I've been drinking the metaphorical Kool-Aid when it comes to Lincoln theater (in fact, I've already signed up for my next play, which will be in August). But it's gotten worse. I've been talking to some of the various artistic directors and actors in town, and the collective feels that Lincoln needs a better theater aggregator, or at the very least, a convenient, easy-to-use-and-remember calendar. Maybe a website or something ('cause the Internets are neat).

Of course, being the zealous little arts supporter that I am, I volunteered, in a sense. So, now there's Lincoln Live Performances.

It's just a stub right now; I'm developing it in Ruby on Rails on my machine at home (conveniently source controlled by the SVN server behind my television). Hopefully I'll have something up soon and I can talk some theaters into posting events (turns out I'm pretty well connected in that regard all of a sudden). Then you all, the general Lincoln public, can view them.

And maybe (that's a big maybe) it'll even look nice...
