You know, here's something, and I'm sorry if I'm being stupid, but do we have to include the word "productions" in the title? it sounds so tacky to me. don't most companies call themselves "something theater company" or "something theater"? i mean, that's not to say that we have to do what everyone else is doing. but maybe a little less tacky? kira

I see your point.  That kinda makes sense.  Maybe if we call ourselves "something" theatre company and then once we start doing film we can have a separate facet that is like so and so productions?

NEW NAME BRAINSTORM:

Somthing with "suspend" or suspention of disbelief...
Apothecary Productions (i don't know why. Gannon said we turn to shakespeare
for names so that one's from him)
Two hour traiffic productions (again from good old Will--that one's more
theater related--R & J-- "two hour traffic of our stage")
Poor Player productions (again from Shakespeare--macbeth)
something with "revel" in it (the tempest "our revels now have ended") maybe
a reference to the ended thing to like "revel again productions" i don't
know...
something with "escape" ie escapism
mab theater or queen mab productions --i kinda like it without the queen
though--it's more mysterious--i think the queen mab speech is so bizarre and
fantastical--why couldn't it be refering to something theatrical
MASS productions (this of course is a pun, and also becuase we are theater
for the masses, and mass like wieght, artistic weight, bla bla bla)
Avenue Theater (avenue is a way to get somewhere, it's a pathway, it's open
and for everyone...)
Potent Productions
Hole Productions (again a pun on "whole", hole is an entry, you don't know
what's on the other side...)
I looked up one of Gannons in the dictionary "Spectral" I like this becuase
it can mean ghost and it can also mean "of a spectrum." It also sounds like
spectator, and speculate...and the gynocologist one is speculum so i'm over
that hang up.

I think I agree. We just have to sort out exactly what we are doing. We had originally decided to omit "theater" because we didn't want to be limited to popular imagination concerning what that is. And also the film thing. By starting this company I'm hoping to establish 2 things : 1. A repertory company having its own name. 2. A production company, that may or may not share the exact name as the troupe- that funds the rep productions as well as providing a space(my secret 3rd thing that is slyly embedded in the 2nd thing) for national and INTERNATIONAL performances. This production company would also produce film eventually and if the rep company stands to benefit from that- they should all have the same name. Dig? I'm not sure I do.

We will be the first administrators of a theatre production company as well as the first "company members" of the performance group that may include people who are not administrators.

The name, for me, can include "theater"(or even "theatre" for that matter)- if that's what sounds best with the name we ultimately choose. I don't think that "productions" is tacky, but I'm open to other options. 
Really, the name doesn't have to include any of those: theater, productions, etc..
It could just be _.

We could call ourselves Mabulous Theatre. Just kidding.

Here's an example of what I mean: In New York there is a company called LaMama, e.t.c. (e.t.c. means Experimental Theater Company) The building in which performances are held is called "LaMama" and the company name on paychecks is LaMama. Many people who work in the buildings(Technicians, admin. etc) are actors in the "Great Jones Rep" acting company. But not all are. Great Jones does between 1 and 3 shows a season at "Lamama" which has over twenty shows in a season. These shows include touring companies from around the world. I don't feel the need to imitate them- but I'd like to do a simpler version of it. We'd first get companies from usa, canada(which is really close) and then mexico. And the majority of our season would be US.

Now I vaguely remember there was a discussion about theatre(or -er)
company vs. productions a while ago. I think most people gravitated to
productions cause it sounded a bit cooler at the preholiday season time
and wasn't used as often by smaller companies that were starting out.

Now this is something I <i>vaguely</i> remember so it might not have
happened or it might have been a conversation I had and got confused
about.

Since we're stuck on names how about:
Rat Rhyme
which means "To repeat from memory without attaching any meaning to the
words;anything repeated by rote." -Alexander Warrack's Scots Dialect
Dictionary, 1911

Which is the best sort of obscure word I stumbled across years ago.
Also did anyone else notice the sort of supernatural/ghostly again we
were going? I dug that.

As for Gannon's plan interesting, very interesting. It's definately a
goal... much more so than getting one show up and running. Which if at
least one of us survives that whole process will seem closer to being
real.

I don't care about productions or theater co. or repertory co. or just co.
or none at all. But I don't like theatre. I only like theater. We're not
British, even if we'd prefer to be.

What about the name:
Productions Theater Repertory Company
Blank Theater
Name Repertory
Can't Decide Productions
A Theater (as in the letter not the word, or i guess the letter and the
word--actually i kinda like that. you wouldn't forget it. it could also be
Atheater--as in atypical, it could also be A Theater--like bare bones, non
pretentious, we're just a theater, it could also be like grade A...bla bla
bla )

I'm not sure which of these are a joke.

So here's a thought. We stop worrying if a name is already taken. Every name
is going to be taken. There are two everything if not more. There's a group
here in Austin called the Rude MEchanicals. I think that is an awesome name.
But there is another non-related group in New York with the same name. It
doesn't matter. They are miles and miles apart. No one cares. The Ghost
Light Productions namke was shot down becuase there was already one. (Or
Ghost Light Theater, whatever.) But the site ghostlighttheater.org is not
taken. That means any Ghost Light Theater out there is no non-profit. We
beat them to becoming non-profit, get the site, and it looks like they stole
our name. We win. I say, as long as the site name we want is not taken, we
go for it, regardless of whether there's another group calling themselves
that or not. So, here's the thing. I think we should choose. Becuase
honestly there are more important things to worry about. I say we all mail
in our top three at this point and then make a master list of things that
get mentioned on multiple people's individual lists. Then we go from there.
Not that this is a vote. Just a way of condensing things down to see where
we are.

Sorry but here are a few more suggestions:

Pythia Theater (Pythia was an Oracle in alot of Greek plays)

I was thinking about our mission statement and how we're about making
theater for everyone--maintaining that art is not a luxury and should be
available for everyone. What about something along those lines--and these
are just off the top of me head but

Necessary Theater Project
or
Necessary Art Project
Element Theater (as in necessary for life)
Everyman Theater
Steal From the Rich Theater
Dark Ages Theater
Poor Man's Theater
Emperor's Clothes Theater
Long Way Unknown Theater or just Way Unknown Theater
TODAY Theater
I think I already suggested it but Starving Artist Theater
Tinfoil and Diamonds Theater/Arts/Productions
Gannon suggested The Blank Slate (no theater or productions or anything) I
actually REALLY like this one.
I'm still cool with Ghostlight. I like it as one word like Sal suggested. I
don't like alternate spellings though.
Or cause we're in Seattle: Rainy Day Theater
Theater Sans Ego
Scorpio Theater Co (It's an estimate on when our theater will be born--or
our first production rather.)
Dumb Show Theater ( I suggested this before but I think it's funny...)
OKay. I don't know. I am honestly really flexible on this issue. It won't
kill me to have a name that i'm not crazy about.

Here are my 3 favorites:
Ghostlight (cause we can agree on it for the most part)
atheater
The Blank Slate

But I'm extremely flexible.

Morgan can we have a certain day that we can give you the names.  Because there is a lot of names to go through.  So like can we say by Friday everyone have the top three or five or whatever names that they like submitted that way we can make the list.  I know my need for deadlines is crazy but that would really help give me some time to sort through all the e-mails.

Why don't we have the deadline be a week from today. Next Monday. Everyone
have two lists. One of the ones you like (10 at the MOST)--or atleast could
deal with if we ended up naming it that. And one of the names you refuse to
be a part of a production company named that. This isn't a decision date.
Gannon was saying it doesn't really matter until we have to put it on paper
somewhere and he's right. We don't need a name until we are ready to
publisize/fundraise/fill out forms/start a bank account whatever. So we may
as well use the time we have trying to come up with the perfect name instead
of hastily agreeing on something. But right now I feel like there are to
many unaknowledged options out there. We need a short list of possibilities
and then we can keep adding to it you know? I just want to weed out the
crap.So everyone write back witha a list by monday. If you really don't give
a fuck what it's called and have no interest in helping name it KIRA then
just email back saying that. It would be nice to have a reply from EVERYONE
so we know we're not just stepping on someone's opinion.

favorite:
The Theater Conspiriacy

he also said
The Theater Fiasco

Here is another idea: Go to the website of a famous theater company and imagine various suggestions for OUR company were their name is. This will give us a sense of how it would look.

Me too. I really like The Theater Conspiracy. For once I'm really set on a
name. I like it alot. But let me tell you why:
1. It's in a none traditional format. (it's not bla bla bla Theater Co. or
Productions or anything)
2.) It has a sense of humor
3.) It's eye catching.
4.) It makes us sound bad ass

I vote that 12 times. But again, I'm not super picky about names so I can
live with another one. But I really really like that one.

Yeah Theater Conspiracy is good but it's not Sal Ponce Theater Company
good.

As in not as good as the name "Sal Ponce Theater Company" or not a good
enough name to be a company including the person Sal Ponce?

I'd have to say the first one because I rather enjoy the name...
although the does lead to a new idea for a name, some theater company
featuring Sal Ponce.

It would be great (read odd) to have a theater featuring a tech... damn
odd.
