Actually, Mr. Kelly; Mr. Berko is probably the most widely read  
reviewer in Northeast Ohio.  I just checked; Fred now has 4,420+  
subscribers on his list.  Those subscribers all get Mr. Berko's  
column, and I bet they read it too, more often than not.  Roy DOES  
cover a lot of ground (I like that he reports on so many dance  
events, myself).

That's a pretty significant readership, and the Berko column is even  
more widely available through the NEOhioPAL website, and Mr. Berko's  
own website at http://royberko.info.

So, no matter what we think of his opinions or his semantic skills,  
Roy is onto something here.  The internet, as it has for so many  
other aspects of our lives, is changing the rules for theater reviews.

"You the reviewer: bloggers the new critics in theater land."
