As a longtime subscriber of the News & Record, one of the great joys of the weekend paper is the reviews of the different arts venues in Greensboro. The reviews not only help my family plan our weekend entertainment, but most importantly, they remind us of the rich and vibrant arts life we have in Greensboro in the areas of dance, theater and music.

How disappointing it is to see so little being reviewed recently. As an example, "The Matchmaker" has recently begun at Triad Stage. It is a truly outstanding play but nowhere did I see any review of it in the paper. Why not? After all, Triad Stage as well as the Broach Theater, the Carolina Theater and the Cultural Center are vital to the cultural and economic health of Greensboro.

Please tell me this is an oversight and you haven't abandoned the arts in Greensboro. You are an important link in reminding us to support the arts and the artists who dedicate their lives to enriching ours through their artistic talents.
