The good news is that the Palm Beach Post is actively covering theatre. The bad news is that they aren't putting them on their theatre page. I'm glad they're finally out doing the stories; it was only two weeks ago that I was complaining about the complete lack of coverage.
But guys, you got to put the stories where you tell us they will be! A website isn't a newspaper, and we don't page through it like we would a hardcopy. We click to the sections we want, we bookmark the pages that most interest us. Hiding the stories in other sections is nearly as bad as not writing them at all because we won't see them.
Since about 2/3 of South Florida doesn't read the paper version of the Post - or even the online version - I'm culling this week's stories so the theatre lover can find them without having to slog through every section of the website.
And seriously, whoever is Editor for the Post (information not found on their website), not only should you keep theatre stories together, they should have an RSS feed. Your hit count will go up.
The stories:
Kevin Thompson interviews playwright William Mastrosimone, whose Dirty Business opens tonight at Florida Stage.
Passy also reviews Moon for the Misbegotten, but I'm sticking that into yet another update of this weeks' Theatre Scene.

"The JFK assassination is a common American myth,"Leslie Gray Streeter talks with Jodie Dixon-Mears about Big River at the Lake Worth Playhouse.
Mastrosimone says in an unmistakable Jersey accent. "We don't know if
it'll ever be solved."

regardless."
