I wholeheartedly agree.
The Plain Dealer is once again showing their true colors.

Too bad I don't have a canary.

Hi John,

I strongly disagree with your decision to relegate auditions to be listed online only.  At most, the audition listing occupied a quarter of the page in the past.  That's hardly of phone book magnitude.  And if we follow the "logic" that since most people have a computer there's no need to include audition listings in the newspaper, then why do we need to read and subscribe to a newspaper since we can just go online and get the same info?   It's a bad move.

Dear Mr. Oswald:

There will be theater listings; the fact that there weren't any in the first issue was simply a production error.

In fact, there is more theater content every week, because Tony Brown is writing a column devoted to local theater. It was our decision, however, that we had to move away from making the magazine like a phone book of listings and add some content for general readers. For that reason, auditions will now be online only.

I hope you'll keep reading each week, and give our new look, and the loads of new content, a chance to win you over.
