A unique “unplugged” production of the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning musical about a group of artists, many who live with AIDS, struggle to maintain their friendships and their non-conformist ideals in New York’s bohemian East Village.

Behind Behind the Curtain

MISC_RobHello there and thanks for checking out my little corner of the inter-web.

Local arts coverage has been dwindling over the past five years, and as many of you know, The Enquirer laid off their theater reporter about a month ago. Over the last few weeks, I’ve been looking at traffic patterns on both this blog and it’s accompanying Facebook fan page, trying to figure out what I can do to improve my coverage.

One thing I realized is that my voice has been missing from this blog. Last season I was simply working too much, always feeling the pressure of the blog postings being behind, and never quite seeming to have the time to write reviews or other articles. This season I’m working to change that, so expect the blog to be updated more regularly with more reviews and other stories.

I do need your help in promoting local theater and that is by you liking, commenting and sharing posts on Facebook and Twitter. A few shares can literally double or triple the reach of the information and expands your potential audience.

I’m looking forward to an exciting 2013-2014 theater season. Thanks for reading, and enjoy your Labor Day.

See you at the theater.

Rob
