Since I have a high-visibility Teletype site ("aetherltd.com"), I get
requests from production companies from time to time. I send West Coast
requesters to History for Hire (http://www.historyforhire.com/) in LA,
and East Coast ones to Zach
(http://www.zachtheatre.org/about/rentals#teletype) in New York.
