Who We Are
412 Theater Thoughts is an independently-run media outlet where our writers have a deep love of the arts.
ABOUT THE BLOG:
412 Theater Thoughts is an independantly-run theater review blog with a skilled creative team; just straight to the point reviews and marketing, with the sole intention of letting talented local performers know that their work is seen and appreciated.
We have elected to omit writers personal information so the focus can be on the reviews on a neutral plane. All parties are on board with the anonymity as this is simply about giving credit where credit is due, and our writers understand that goal. Our writers come with heavy credentials; most having Theater degrees and/or journalism & web-publishing degrees, and all having theater backgrounds, but most importantly, all with a strong appreciation for the stage.
This is a more informal style of reviewing. None of our writers are expected to adhere to "typical" writing guidelines that you might see in newspaper reviews. They write exactly how they feel, run it by an editor for the green light, and it goes live. Most of our reviews were requested, but we also occasionally ask for reviews from our writers based on shows they were already planning to attend, and really enjoyed, who did not request a review.
Our goal is not to critique performances. Of course, there are things our writers are not going to like in every show. Our writers omit that information as part of our business model. We simply want to let the performers know our thoughts on what we did like.
There are many times our writers can't attend until a second weekend or even a closing show, so obviously we are not able to always advertise the show in our reviews and tell others to see it in time. However, we will always do so if possible, and always advertise the theaters next show.
Support your local theater, and enjoy.
