Known for her excellent work with nearly every theater company in town, Aimee Doherty is currently taking center stage in her fifth (!) turn as Sally Bowles in Cabaret. In between shows on a two-show Saturday, she sat down with me to talk Sally (the character and the dog), being very excited in a garden center, her Rent the Runway habit, and her upcoming Boston Pops debut.

Your Brand Toolbox: So much more than just a logo

Posted by Kyle Thomas Hemingway on May 19, 2017 3:55:00 PM | 0 comments | Design, Arts Marketing

It's arguably the most important thing about communicating your organization or production. It's how you let people know it's you when they receive your messages. No, it's not your logo. It's your brand. There's a difference—a big one. Let's talk...

Not all information is created equal: Basic principles of design

Posted by Kyle Thomas Hemingway on Mar 1, 2017 12:25:37 PM | 0 comments | Design, Arts Marketing

Okay. We've had a couple of days to recover from the epic fail that was the announcement of the Best Film Academy Award on Sunday evening.

What's that got to do with anything? Photography from the Paris Opera's 2017/2018 season announcement

In the days leading up to the opening of the 2016 Outside the Box Festival, I sat down with artistic director and Nicholas Sparks enthusiast Georgia Lyman.

Recently, over an oyster lunch on the patio of Row 34, I sat down with cocktail empress and gowns-with-pockets enthusiast Maureen Hautaniemi and, after a brief interlude about custom oyster shucking belts in Amsterdam, chatted about fashion, fishing, and what exactly The Thing is.
