Mind deleting that post from Tom? haha Travis,  To me this is right on. The dilemma of critic/reviewer and their role is one that I and many of my fellow artists and patrons in the previous arts community grappled with. I think that your points in this post are spot on and I agree completely. The complicating factor that sometimes occurs, especially in a smaller community with a fledgling arts and theatre community, is the idea that the critics and reviewers are not only the arbiters of ticket sales for a particular show but when a good or bad review might swing the entire arts community and scene. This is particularly frustrating in an arts scene that is small enough to be affected but large enough to truly have competition and be deserving of both high artistic integrity and honesty in reviews.  Enough of my rambling. This post struck a chord with me.  Keep it up, -Noah Craft- @noahcraft:twitter  So… a neighbor here at CHQ used my computer and didn’t sign out of twitter…. Mind deleting that post from Tom? haha
