PS

I had this big ol' blog entry ready to post, and all of a sudden it just seemed futile. So, to sum up:

1. Fact: Not all theater is good theater, no matter how hard you worked.

2. Audience members are the ones experiencing the theater, good or bad, and are prime candidates to give unbiased feedback.

3. It should not be assumed an audience member is uninformed or uneducated if said audience member has the guts to critique bad theater.

4. Defensive and snarky responses to the critique of any theater does not encourage discussion.

5. Defensive and snarky responses actually imply small-mindedness.

6. If said "uninformed or uneducated" audience member is brave enough to sign their name to their opinions, so should be anyone who makes a public response, whether defensive or supportive.


And with that said, however futilely, blog readers may now anticipate the forthcoming Emily's Favorite Things.
