Rehearsal space madness

[benjamincanfly]

What the heck, you guys? I just called the big two (Ripley-Grier and Champion), and they're both fully booked a week in advance. I usually book a mere 54 hours before practice. Is there such a thing as a spring rehearsal rush, like some kind of theatrical tornado season? I'm out of the loop here, right?

what up. RG employee here. we are usually booked A MONTH in advance. so my advice would be to email your requests in more than a month in advance.

So I'm extremely naive, and for the last few months I've just had a really great lucky street which is finally running out.

I guess it never rains but it pours. Last week when I bought a new metro swipe it cost $81 instead of $76. Somehow I've been saving $5 a month for the last year and a half, but now I'm paying what normal people pay.

They just raised the price from $76 on Sunday.

I to have noticed an increase in difficulties at getting spaces. But I think it might just be the standard post-new year's projects and classes and such.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Oh good.

Anyway, Riplay Grier and Champions are not the only game in town. Check out www.nyctheaterspaces.org to search for possible space rentals. I personally recommend Weist Barron or the Players Theater (http://www.weistbarron.com/ and http://www.theplayerstheatre.com/) for cheap and convenient spaces.
