And while I am not an artist, nor have access to your "artist info pack", I have been going to the fringe for the past 11 years, and it is some of the only theater I see during the year. I use reviews to make my selections each year, this one wasn't helpful, and I thought it was weak. You're right Erin the reviews are intended for the AUDIENCE, so for ME. I'm guessing Erin that you are a theater artist, and shame on you. Shame on you for calling out a young theater company publicly on a FALSE assumption. We get it, you're smart, us laypeople have "NO CLUE" what is going on. No wonder your medium is dying.FED UPnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146056913190816228.post-27226916563029487292012-06-23T15:41:21.526-04:002012-06-23T15:41:21.526-04:00Hahahaha ohhhh my god.
Sometimes I think the Frin...Hahahaha ohhhh my god.<br /><br />Sometimes I think the Fringe needs to include a section on how to respond to negative reviews in its artist info pack because as shown by the two cast members of Zombie Apocalypse above me (seriously guys? seriously? come on, it's obvious you're involved with the production) some of them have NO CLUE what to do or how it makes them come across.<br /><br />(Part 1: Don't respond to negative reviews in print or in front of an audience. Part 2: reviews are intended for the AUDIENCE, they're not constructive criticism. You want constructive criticism, you have your play workshopped, that's not the reviewer's job.)<br /><br />(...

This review gives absolutely no insight as to WHY the reviewer didn't like the play. The broad "amateurish" shouldn't cut it. What was amateurish? Was the script off? Was the pacing poor? We're the actors off? There is no point to this review which leads me to question what the credentials of this reviewer are. The Charlebois post has chance to be something very cool and insightful, but instead we have a quick synopsis and a vague cutting remark which gives us no reason to see, or not to see a show. And yes I realize it's the fringe, but this kind of review happens a lot on this site. Be better than this.Fed Upnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146056913190816228.post-44318489313273759842012-06-22T10:29:50.466-04:002012-06-22T10:29:50.466-04:00your review is bad and you should feel bad.
