My Chat with Ken Davenport, Part 1

Here is part 1 of 3 between me and Broadway and off-Broadway producer, Ken Davenport.  He’s the mind behind popular shows like Altar Boyz, the Awesome 80′s Prom, and My First Time.   He’s a full-on renaissance man, though, with a thoughtful blog and an appearance in an iPhone commercial.

He shared his thoughts on the importance of building the audience into the process of development of your content while at the same time having a strong, clear personal vision about what the show should be.  That sounds about right to me.

I’ll post the remaining pieces later in the week!  Enjoy.

    The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

    Hello – I must say, I’m impressed with your site. I had no trouble navigating through all the tabs and information was very easy to access. I found what I wanted in no time at all. Pretty awesome. Would appreciate it if you add forums or something, it would be a perfect way for your clients to interact. Great job

    This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
