In 2004 I launched a website devoted to theater reviews I wasn’t writing for The Tennessean. That site, StageCritic.com, ended after I left the paper and (a few months later) joined forces with the wonderful John Pitcher for other attempts at independent online arts journalism. Then for a few years after that I ran a site called NashvilleArtsCritic.com. Now I’ve come full circle to relaunch StageCritic.com – what’s old is new!
I don’t plan on this becoming a full-time pursuit; I just feel an Internet home for occasional articles about the performing arts is something I want to have. Journalism is no longer my job so I guess, if you’ll pardon me, it’s my happy hobby.
The Contact Me page gives you a means for sending me information or general feedback; each post allows for comments. I won’t issue a blanket promise to attend and write about as many performances as possible, but perhaps from time to time I’ll type up some thoughts on the experiences I savor when the house lights go down and the stage lights go up.
You have inspired me to write theater reviews again. I miss that part of my life as I, too, have left journalism and am working as an educator. The arts will always be a major inspiration to me. Thanks for sharing your story.
Oh, Jaci, that’s great! Your writing is so terrific – I look forward to reading your work again!
