[NEohioPAL] Cleveland Critics Not Reviewing College Theatre Productions

[Stephen Covey]

This issue about not reviewing college theatre productions was discussed a while ago on the list, and coincidently, it was prompted by another wonderful Tri-C East production of Taking Sides, which was magnificently directed by Brian Zoldessy, and acted supremely by 6 fantastic AEA performers.  Almost every performance was sold out, due to word of mouth.
 
After searching through the archives, I noticed that many Cleveland critics had reviewed productions at Baldwin-Wallace, CSU, Lakeland Community College, and John Carroll.  Check their websites...the reviews are posted.
 
So Ms. Borland, you might have opened a Pandora's box.  Some reviewers might attend your show, and should you receive a couple of "pans", it might just be out of spite, because of this posting.
 
I am looking forward to seeing American Buffalo, and look forward to posting my honest opinion of the show.  Best of luck!

Subject: [NEohioPAL] American Buffalo at Tri-C East




This message is directed at those critics who have graciously turned down my invitation to attend our opening night performance of American Buffalo at Tri-C East:
I am sorry that your policy of not reviewing college productions will prevent you from attending  what promises to be a first-rate, professional production featuring  three remarkable actors; Brian Zoldessy, Noah Budin, and Justin Robinson.  
Brian Zoldessy is one of the best- known and most admired actors in our area. His professional career here and on Broadway is an indication of his remarkable talent and energy.  Noah Budin is a multi-talented man; composer, musician, actor.  He has created many memorable characters on a variety of stages in Northeast Ohio.  Justin Robinson is a Tri-C student who has shown extraordinary promise as an actor and musician.  We are confident that he will enjoy a successful professional career on the stage.  
This is what you are missing.  My recommendation would be to come to our show just for the experience of seeing a truly unforgettable production.  I’ll look forward to greeting you in the lobby.    
 American Buffalo will open on May 6 at 8:00 pm in the Performing Arts Building’s Studio Theatre on the Tri-C Eastern Campus. Other performances will be on May 7, 12, and 13 at 8:00 pm, and on May 8 and 15 at 2:00 pm. 
American Buffalo contains adult content and language. It is not appropriate for students under sixteen years of age.
