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

Mariemont Players presents Neil Simon’s romantic comedy BAREFOOT IN THE PARK, at the Walton Creek Theater, 4101 Walton Creek Road (just East of Mariemont), September 13th through September 29th, 2013.

Newlyweds Paul, a buttoned-down lawyer, and Corie, his free-spirited wife, have a passionate relationship. But dealing with their tiny fifth floor walk-up, a nosy neighbor who lives in the attic, a loopy mother and bad plumbing, leads to loads of laughs and learning to live and love.

BAREFOOT IN THE PARK is directed by Roberto Henriquez, produced by Jo Anne Bessette, and features Joe Hooker, Samantha Isler, Art Kibby, Sandy Schlueter, Arny Stoller and Robert Warfel.

Performances will be at 8:00pm on September 13th, September 14th, September 20th, September 21st, and September 27th; at 2:00pm on September 15th and September 29th; at 7:30pm on September 19th and September 26th; 2:00pm & 7:00pm on September 22nd; and at 3:00pm & 8:00pm on September 28th.

For more information or to order tickets for BAREFOOT IN THE PARK, call Betsy at 513-684-1236. All seats are reserved and cost $18 each.
