I'm kinda sucking at this. Sorry.

-CorridorBuzz.com had a preview of "Fences" on their website Thursday.

-There were reviews of "Fences" in today's Gazette and on the Iowa Theatre Blog (see previous post).

-And the Iowa Theatre Blog has a behind the scenes video of "Fences."

It's a very "Fences"-centric weekend of blogging. But that just opened, so that's why.

-I managed to miss this, but the Iowa Theatre Blog has a review of "The Foreigner" at ICCT.

-In today's Waterloo Courier, Monica Reida says that their critics can't write good reviews. Translation: She says what we've all been thinking.

I can't help but wonder, does the Courier edit letters to the editor? Because it stops abruptly after she criticizes George Day's review of "Importance of Being Earnest."

Regardless, it's awesome.

Today in Blogging

Monica at "Fragments" talks about a friend of hers thinking that she panned "The Velveteen Rabbit" at the Black Hawk Children's Theatre, which she actually raved about.  Also, people finally discovered her blog thanks to her raving about "Guys and Dolls" at Cedar Falls High School. That's sad. Her blog is hilarious and ridiculously intelligent.

According to the Iowa Theatre Blog, "Hair" at Theatre Cedar Rapids announced their cast.
