Community Theatre depends on coverage
When the Community Theatre of Greensboro mounts a musical production such as the recent "Beauty and the Beast," there are more people from our community involved than in any similar local theatrical endeavor. Your failure to cover/review the production hampered the publicity effort and subsequent attendance, and did a disservice to your reader base. Support the local arts. Critique honestly, but feel obliged to provide what your readers are genuinely interested in.

You're right Phil. The paper and news outlets give tons of free advertising for events at the coliseum but sounds like they barely mentioned your production. That's a shame.

Phil,
YOU were fantastic in the play! Not since you played Officer Krupke in West Side Story have I seen such theatrical acumen. I am born anew in your genius!

you can always buy an ad in the newspaper...

6string,
you are absolutely right. And the ad will be placed on page 4 behind the 3 pages of free advertising the newspaper gives to the coliseum when they report about the events there.
