After much consideration, I’ve decided that I must retire my on-again/off-again work as a reviewer of plays in the area. The truth of the matter is simply this: I have landed two positions in the local theatre community that are going to cut down my ability to objectively review plays. I’ll undoubtedly be seeing a lot of work in my new positions, but I’ll also be producing a lot of work. Some people can make producing and reviewing go hand in hand, but I’m not certain that I can.
So my upcoming review of Fresno Pacific’s “Hay Fever” will probably be my last full review.
I do plan, however, to report back on work I’m seeing that I like. Today’s young theatre goers are looking more and more to online comments to recommend what they should spend their money on. I’ll be happy to lend my voice to the stuff I think worth the time and money– in a shorter, more succinct way!
