Sue's Upcoming Events

Sue Gilad will show you how you can make a great living by proofreading the kinds of books you would normally read for pleasure. (For example, she earned over $1000 reading The DaVinci Code.)

In this info-packed seminar, you will learn how to build proofreading experience from the ground up, begin earning freelance income immediately, land the jobs (even if you think you have no professional experience), make contacts and find untapped job opportunities, and generate a plan so you can read what you want, when you want - for money.

Sue Gilad is the founder and president of Maximum Sentence, LLC, a full service editing company whose clients include Random House, Warner Books, and Wiley.

Sue will be the Voice of God in the upcoming Broadway Backwards 5 at Lincoln Center Theater at the Vivian Beaumont.

Never underestimate the power of a pronoun! With women singing men’s songs and men singing women’s – and the original pronouns intact – a song can mean something entirely new.

It started in 2006 when twenty Broadway performers came together to help raise awareness and funds for at-risk gay youth, HIV prevention and support, gay and lesbian families-to-be, and other programs of The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center on 13th Street. The event featured members of the Broadway community singing reversed gender songs. But that night, something very special happened. The SRO crowd realized that this wasn’t just about men singing women’s songs and vice versa. It was a chance for that audience to see and hear some of the most treasured songs of the Great White Way in a whole light – a more inclusive light.

In 2010, Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and The Center are joining forces to present the fifth edition of BROADWAY BACKWARDS at Broadway’s Lincoln Center Theater at the Vivian Beaumont benefiting both organizations. BROADWAY BACKWARDS 5 will feature two dozen stars including:

Gary Beach (The Producers, Tony Award)
Tituss Burgess (Guys and Dolls, The Little Mermaid)
Mario Cantone (Sex and the City, Laugh Whore)
Len Cariou (Sweeney Todd, Tony Award)
Raul Esparza (Speed-the-Plow, Company, 4-time Tony Award-nominee)
Tony Goldwyn (Ghost, upcoming revival of Promises, Promises)
Aaron Lazar (A Little Night Music, The Light in the Piazza)
Michele Lee (The Tale of the Allergist’s Wife, Seesaw, How to Succeed…, 2-time Tony Award-nominee)
Julia Murney (The Wild Party and Wicked)
Becki Newton (ABC’s Ugly Betty, Girl Crazy at Encores!)
Tonya Pinkins (Caroline or Change, Jelly’s Last Jam, Tony Award).

Florence Henderson, star of the original Broadway productions of Fanny and The Girl Who Came to Supper and the hit television show The Brady Bunch will host. Additional performers will be announced in the coming weeks.

The creator of BROADWAY BACKWARDS, Robert Bartley, returns as Director/Choreographer of this special evening with Musical Direction by Wayne Barker.

Florence Henderson, who was an audience favorite at last year’s BROADWAY BACKWARDS, will serve as host for this year’s event.
