In 1989 Las Vegas director, choreographer Minnie Madden and
former Hollywood scribe
Mark Tan sat at a
typewriter and pounded
out the first eight-page
issue of a new
entertainment
publication. It was,
almost jokingly,
christened “Dirt Alert,”
using the show business
slang and backstage
vernacular for the
latest gossip,
unconfirmed rumors and
updates on new
productions. Now
CallBack's focus and
appeal has greatly
expanded and they will
share their up and
coming projects with the
VCO community. |
