I just want to thank you Pitch editors for being brave enough to actually criticize a show. Let me explain: This is something that really grinds my gears. I go to live performances (plays, musicals) about twice a year. Quite frankly, a few of them stink. But at the end of the show the audience, when the actors come out for their final bows, always seems compelled to give them a standing ovation. What? Am I the only one who can see a crappy show? If I had my way I'd walk out and not clap at all but I don't want to look like a jerk. I don't know, maybe it's the fact your seeing the performers eye to eye? Maybe its the fact theatergoers see themselves as an elite clique and don't want to make waves? But, if we are not honest on our feelings about a shows quality, how will the performers learn? And that goes to the papers. Whether it's the Star or Pitch it seems they are reluctant to call a piece of crap play what it really is. Where are the stars ratings for plays like they have for movies? Where are the columns telling people to not waste their money or time?

Comedy City and Improv-Abilities. You said thier shows are familiar but funny. And you didn't call thier audiences unsavvy. I'm proud of you, Alan. You're learning. Proverbs 27:17.

This is a great review. I'm glad I got to read your last one. I checked out the Roving Imp and that is a neat place. Hope to catch a show some time.

I am a regular supporter of Kansas Cty Theatre. Mr. Schersthul I'm so sorry that unlike my experiences, your experiences with the MET have been unpleasant. I'm not sure if it's just your bad luck or...just you. I totally enjoyed my first production,'Time of Your Life'. I was so impressed that I have been too and equally enjoyed every single production since including 'Light in the Piazza'. My advise to potential theatre goers is to never trust the opinion of local reviewers, but to simply go to a show that interests you. Relying on reviewers from small town community newspaper may cause one to miss out on a wonderful theatrical treat.

We are the parents of Katie and we are both physicians. At one time we thought that Katie would become a physician, but we extremely proud of her as a singing musician and are eternally grateful to you for your very positive review and your affirmation that she has made the correct career decision. Our "unbiased" opinion is that she is perfect. Thanks,
Kathryn Kenders-McCreary, MD and Maurice McCreary,MD

"Sure, it's self-important and tinged with melodrama, but so are high-schoolers." Hilarious and perfect.
