Reading the Theatre: The story so far

Welcome to a month of Reading the Theatre! I’m planning to have a blast this month with one of my favorite reading themes, so I hope you will indulge me, or even — in the best-case scenario — join in to share what inspires your own enthusiasm.

I wanted to start out by collecting all of the theatrically-oriented posts I’ve done over the years, both here and on my former blog The Emerald City Book Review. It turns out there are quite a few of them. I’ve organized them by topic so that if there’s something you are particularly interested in, you can hop right to it.

I do hope you’ll find something to enjoy here, and let me know your thoughts.
