As longtime readers know, I started this blog on Feb. 14,
2007, and so every year, I get to observe Valentine’s Day by celebrating the big
loves of my life: my husband K (we had a great dinner at one of our favorite restaurants,
although I may have overindulged on the Cosmopolitans) and seeing theater and
writing about it here. So I’m taking time out to toast 12 years of
doing the latter.
The last 12 months have been really great. I saw some terrific shows and I got
to talk to several of the playwrights who created them for the “Stagecraft”
podcast I do for BroadwayRadio (you can check out those interviews by clicking here).
And I got to talk to other theater makers for stories I wrote for
American Theatre magazine (click here to read that piece) Broadway News (click here for this one) and TDFStages (click here for it).
I also had the honor of being elected to the executive
committee of the Outer Critics Circle and to the American Theatre Critics
Association, for whom I moderated a panel at last fall’s New York conference
whose timely theme was “Beyond Straight White Men: Diversity on Page and Stage.”
But all of that began here, with this blog. And I am so grateful to those of you who've been reading these posts over the past dozen
years and to those of you who might be visiting for the first time today.
My
calendar is already filling up with all kinds of promising shows and I hope all
of you will stick around so that I look can share my thoughts about them with you
in the coming year. In the meantime, a belated Happy Valentine's Day and, of
course, happy theatergoing too.
