Along with revealing their crowd-pleasing line-up for the 20101-2011 season, the Boca Raton Theatre Guild has also announced it will now offer competitive compensation for actors, an occasional Equity contract, and will continue to employ top-notch directors such as Genie Croft. 'I see this as a major move forward in our evolution,' says BRTG Artistic Director Keith Garsson. 'We've been thinking along these lines for a while now, and the success we had with this summer's run of The Year of Magical Thinking with (Equity member and Carbonell Award winning actress) Angie Radosh just confirmed it - our audiences demand and enjoy quality. We believe this new policy will be attractive not only to our audiences, but to actors and directors as well.'
