I don't have much to add except I laugh every time I see the name of your newsletter pop up in my feed. You couldn't have picked a more evocative title. Our temp DoP banned than phrase from our meetings.

You might be tickled to know that—at my non-theater sustenance job—I recently used your argument/source for a living wage to argue for hiring a new admin at an appropriate rate and getting a raise for my current assistant.

And I didn’t know the phrase before I read your newsletter, but I’ve managed to get that same non-theater workplace to start using “nothing for the group” in our weekly project coordination. I’m delighted every time someone says it.

Thanks for what you do. 💜

I saw a designer's bag with Nothing For The Group embroidered on it, my 1 st thought was oh! you read Lauren's newsletter, not the actual reference. Top of the Google search in my brain!

Thank you for this newsletter. I just retired after 30 years of teaching theater. Nothing for the Group has helped keep me connected to the art form I love.

Thanks again for writing the newsletter. I'm just a theater goer but I have used it to promote some plays I see listed to people I know throughout the country. So I'm pleased it's found a niche in the market.
