Thanks for checking in. And you too, Geoff. As always, insightful and filled with food metaphors. Will definitely take a look, Kat. Thanks for checking in. And you too, Geoff.

I think it's a wonderful idea and imperative for an art form that, at it's best, should inspire and foster critical dialogue. I, too, have had qualms with my role as reviewer - if you get a moment, please check out my blog on the subject: http://katprimeau.weebly.com/adventures-in-lala-land.html Thanks and keep up the good work!

I also think it is a good thing when there are many people writing, because the cream does raise to the top, and without all those writers, there would be no cream. (Just like the cream of theatrical productions. The more there are, the more good ones there will be.) And "print" theatre experts, I have found, are often schmoes like the rest of us. I agree with your assessment that this young woman is a very good writer and an wonderful addition to the new crop of theatre reviewers in Los Angeles. Our site was put up as a direct response to print media giving less and less attention to small theatre and I am heartened when I see thoughtful, talented people take up the baton. There are good shows out there, and I do think much of it is better than anywhere else in the world. Now I begin to see LA Theatre Criticism also take it's place on the level of other centers of art and it makes me very happy. Geoff Thanks for pointing the way to this wonderfully written blog.
