The Curious Case of CFCT and Theater Reviews

Cedar Falls Community Theatre has a nice, swanky website up. It really is nice and I'm hoping they finally get to the online ticketing thing.

They have a page on "The Importance of Being Earnest," which I did not see because I read the savaging of it on "Fragments." Anyway, there is a quote on the post from George Day's review (which "Fragments" also tore apart).

Note the dot-dot-dots.

Why is there no quote from the "Fragments" review? Is the Oster Regent not aware of the reviews on "Fragments"? I mean, if they can use dot-dot-dots on the Courier's review, couldn't they have done that with Monica's review? They could have at least thrown in "Merritt gives an excellent powerhouse performance as Lady Bracknell." Those that don't read the reviews on "Fragments" or are familiar with "The Importance of Being Earnest" might have gone and bought tickets just to see that performance.

I'm thinking they're not aware of the reviews on "Fragments."
