A capsule review mentioning something you saw that is worth  catching is OK,

Hi ALL - 

Perhaps it is referred to here....I have, on two  occasions, sent to the 
NEOHIOPAL List an "unsolicited reviews" of Scott Spence's  Urinetown and Fred 
Sternfeld's Beauty and the Beast (both at  Beck).  When I got home from these two 
performances, I sat at my computer  and wrote a gut honest review as to their 
excellence.  I have  never been solicited by any director or cast member to do 
so,  nor have I done it for any personal gain.  I did this for one reason  
only...to help an outstanding, far-above-average production gain the full  
audience it so much deserved.  (Too many wonderful shows end up  playing to a 
fraction of the house because people don't know what they are  missing.

My subject line reads something like "An unsolicited review from Mary  Faktor 
(the actor ;-) of...(name of show) - The delete button is always  available.

Hugs and a double dimpled smile from
Mary Faktor (the actor ;-)
