As part 2 of Finishing Week Season, I’m proud to unveil the website for CollaborationTown: a Theatre Company. CollaborationTown is a theatre troupe doing neat political satire and commentary theater up in New York City. One of the founding members is my old compadre Jesica Avellone, of whom I’m insanely proud, and happy to help her group along on their way to stardom.
The site itself is pretty nice, with a little Flash at the beginning, some microsites for each of their shows and a weblog for news, although some of the minisites and the weblog are still under construction. It’s one of the niftier sites I’ve put together this year – check it out!
