Makes You Want to Love Theatre (if you don't already)

If I had any followers I could make a more dramatic entrance back into the "blogosphere" (I hate myself for using that word...), but this space is usually reserved for my muted rantings, the digital equivalent to muttering under my breath. But today I'm here to promote something other than my pitiful and self-indulgent hindrances.

A little over a year ago, a friend from college moved to New York to pursue a career in acting. Since then, she has almost literally penetrated the world of theatre by not only participating in actual performances (who knew this was possible?!), but by being an outspoken critic of the current state of NYC theatre (see http://katelyncollins.wordpress.com/). She's positively obsessed.

From personal experience, I can say that Katelyn Collins is a wonderful actor and an outstanding individual. But I've learned that she is also a talented writer and blogger. She recently became a writer for The Green Room Blog, a collective of theatre industry folks who write about New York City life as artists. It's a fantastic look at the bohemian vitality of NYC, but also a guidebook, underscored with realism and humor, of what to expect if you too decide to throw caution to the wind and migrate to the city that (almost) never sleeps.

You don't have to be an actor to enjoy this blog. It's good fun for sure.
