The area in which I live has two main theatre companies. One that produces traditional shows and one that's a tad leftist and avant-garde. Aside from those two we have a fairly weel thriving high school, community college and off-shoot productions. In an effort to create a county-wide centralized source of information i've decided to take it upon myself to put out a monthly newsletter and create a website.

The newsletter would have basic info of upcoming auditions and shows, general info. Who to contact to make a contribution financial or otherwise and maybe a guest article if I can keep em flowing.

The website would have all of the same information and the articles would be archived. i'd also like to include local talent pics and bios, photos from shows, a techie section and so on.

Now I know full well how to plan and execute a website. I have all the room I want with something like that. I've never made a newsletter though and had to be constricted to two sides of an 8 1/2 X 11 sheet of paper. Has anyone had this experience? Point me to a good newsletter program? Anything?

I use Adobe Pagemaker 6.5. It works really well. Real newspapers use it so it is definately good! You can probably find it at a local computer store.
