Archived reviews

Thanks to an agreement with the Journal and some wonderful work by the Category Lead of the travel section at Epinions.com, several of past shows in the area have been added to the Epinions database. I've added links to the left that lead to past reviews I've written--some tweaked to be more appropriate for the national audience.

When at the NEA Institute, we talked about how often reviews are the one lasting, concrete record of a live performance and that part of their purpose is to preserve the memory of the work that was done. Given that, and the fact that artistic directors will often read reviews of previously performed shows when picking a season, I'm pleased to be able to republish many reviews in a forum that will have a longer life.

Others will be added over the coming weeks--and I'm still working on getting Epinions reviews written for She Stoops to Conquer and Hedwig and the Angry Inch.
