So: As you may have heard, things at Theaterboy's chief theater-writing outlet are kinda whack these days.
The odd thing is that the paper's fiscal crisis might actually be creating some opportunities. It's too early to know whether we'll ever be able to get back to writing full-length reviews of everything -- or even most things.
But we have been asked to think about how we might cover theater on the paper's Web site -- starting with posts on the main blog, City Desk, and eventually maybe aggregating those posts on the theater page.
What kind of posts? Well, some of what Theaterboy used to do here, from backstage stories to funny things we heard in the lobby to on-the-scene bits (filed from the aisle, maybe) on something odd that happened just before intermission.
Also reviewlets, format TBD. (Maybe the First Impressions kinda thing Tboy used to do here; maybe something else.)
Which means? Well, if Tboy is going to be doing that kinda stuff, he's pretty sure he'll cross-post at least some of it here. And there will be things that don't rise to the level of CP-audience ready -- but that might be of interest to the people who probably don't come to this blog anymore.
We'll see ...
welcome back.
