Dear boy, this is haineshisway.com - the place where we can rant to our heart's content - we've all done it, and we'll all continue to do it, I'm sure. What fun would it be if we couldn't do useless rants every now and then? If there were some sort of reality to these Fringe awards then I'd say bravo. But, there isn't, at least from what's been told to me. Like 'em or hate 'em, there is a certain logic to the Tony Awards or any "real" awards presentation. Not necessarily good logic, but at least logic. But, if it makes people happy, grand, say I.
And that's what makes horse racing.
I know, I know. I'm just getting more snarky now that I'm older. -Or is that "smarmy"? Or both?

Picture this: You’re the artistic director of a regional theatre, one with a pretty good reputation for doing new musicals. Hundreds of scripts and demos cross your desk every year. It’s a burden to read them all, because, new musicals being what they are, so many of them are awful. So, with nobody looking over your shoulder, you cheat a little: You decide not to read the musicals that haven’t been done in New York. You feel you can do that because you’ve great faith that if a show can make it there, it can make it anywhere. Whoa, there’s still too many musicals on your pile. Look around again. Nobody’s looking over your shoulder, so you decide to read ONLY those musicals produced in New York that have won awards. Doesn’t matter if the award was given by a panel of experts or just friends and relatives, if it’s won one, you’re going to read it. If it hasn’t, doesn’t matter if it’s West Side Story, it’s not going to get read.
Still think awards are meaningless?
I Wish It Could Be Otherwise…
