Theater TALK -- Not Theater Listen

For those of you who are long-time viewers, or even those of you just tuning in through this mailbag of reader responses to the show, part of the fun of Theater Talk is in the live discussion that gets behind creative choices, artistic decisions, and the behind-the-scenes reality of the theater. For that reason, our goal is to improve this mail blog, opening up as much as we can to you, the reader and viewer, who wants to talk back.

Every Friday, at midnight, we'll be posting a new poll and 'discussion' topic -- and check back throughout the week for new letters, which you can submit by e-mailing newtheatercorps@gmail.com. You can also talk back directly through the comments so as to keep the discussion going; you can even do so anonymously -- whatever it takes to keep Theater Talking. We hope, in the coming weeks and months, to become a focused center for hot topic issues, where the community can respond to artists, the industry, and critics alike. Additionally, you can also check out Theater Talk's New Theater Corps, our growing site of young critics, who are at this minute probably scouring the downtown scene for new and exciting theater.

Have other ideas, suggestions, comments, or complaints? Feel free to write us: we're interested in what you have to say.
