Episode 8: Reviews and Criticism in the World of Community Theatre

I’m joined by Michael Meigs, creator of CTX Live Theatre, to discuss the role of reviews and reviewers in the world of local, community theatre; we touch on an array of topics, including the distinction between reviews and criticism, how writers can, should, and do approach professional versus amateur productions, the relationship between artists and reviewers, and how the era of social media has impacted theatre journalism as a whole.
