Well, Landon seems to have had a busy couple of days. According to this new wikipedia article since Tuesday he has apparently located the original score to Babes in Toyland, extensively rewritten the book and come up with some new original songs to boot. Another amazing community theater success story!

Originally posted by landon2006 actually it says "is being rewritten by...".

No, it doesn't. It says "the book has been extensively rewritten by Landon D. Parks" or at least it did as of this afternoon. The article clearly describes the project as finished. By the way, where did you wind up finding the original score?

"because you're making stuff up"
Them's fightin words Jayzehr. There is no reason to make that up... If that was not in fact the truth, then I would not waste my  time to create such an artical for no reason at all? I'm not stupid you know!

PS) Aren't we getting a little off the original topic here? Clearly this conversation will not get anyone anywhere, so lets end it here.

Normally, I would not argue and just drop the subject, but your touching in some sensitive areas.

#1: YES, that is the goal of the company to produce nationwide tours. Nowhere have I or any other members of the company stated that we "HAVE" produced such shows (that I am aware of anyway), just that its the goal of company to do so, and currently we have a national tour planned and in pre-production for 2009 (A Little Princess). So YES, we do produce national tours as is evident.

#2: It's not "my myspace". I don't update it, thats up to John who is our Webmaster (who also maintains the website). I ocasionally might ad news or bulletins to the myspace, but I am not responsible for its creation and/or maintaining.

#3: As to the Film thing... I got banned from Indietalk  like 8 years ago because I  got a little carried away with myself. I would NEVER say I lied about anything there, I did post some stuff that may have been a little bit "ahead" of it actually happening, but again, I was probably 13 or 14 at the time and not very mature on the facts. NOT that this pertains to anything to do with here, and I really don't appreciate you bringing up something very old and very uncalled for at this time. On top of that, I did end up directed 3 films, one of which could be considered feature length (78 min long). None of them ever got any distribution, but that was not my goal.

#4: The Broadway Entertainment Company Inc. is a state registered Non-Profit company that is not only run by myself, but also a board of directors. It is not "my" company, and "I" alone do not make the decisions. The myspace page states our income at $250,000 per year because that is the highest that Myspace allows, and in fact our 2009 income (not profit) predictions are well over $800,000. Again though, I do not update the myspace page, and any concerns over that need to be handled by our Webmaster by e-mailing him at info@broadwaybloomington.org subject: Myspace Issue.

#5: I never stated (at least I never ment to state anyway) that I had completed the project of Babes in Toyland. If I did make that assumption, it was by mistake. Currently, I have gotten 8 pages of the script complete and I talked with the composer today (Andrew John-Walker) about some new songs in which we want for the production. I have also complied 3 songs from the Broadway play "Wizard of Oz (1903)" into the proposed score. We have moved the tour to 2010 instead of 2009, but I really don't see much use in updated the Wiki artical if it is going to get deleted...

So there is nothing in the Wiki artical that would be considered a lie. If you don't believe me, sorry. I am not going to release any scripts, scores, etc on Babes in Toyland until I have my copy of the script and any music score registered with the US Copyright office for protection.

#6: I don't recall any articals about me having directed "Babes in toyland" before. Please alert me to such an artical so that I can verify such information.

Any other issues you have?

PS) We are about to release a list of our 2009 tour Cities, so check the website if  "A Little Princess" will be coming near you. Keep in mind that as time draws closer, we will be adding more Theaters.

Thanks landon for initiating this interlude  

This reminds me of an old Geordie song;-
