A panel of prominent Bay Area theatre critics – including Rob Hurwitt (SF Chronicle), Jean Schiffman (SF Examiner/Arts Monthly) and Lily Janiak (SF Weekly/TBA) -- conducts a frank, open discussion with our audience of playwrights about reviewing new plays.
A significant debate over how to approach new works has energized theatre-makers in the past year. Should critics publish their reviews of new plays with a different standard than time-tested works? What kind of interaction should playwrights expect to have with critics? What are critics looking for (and thinking about) when it comes to judging new works? Our panel of prominent Bay Area theatre critics will talk about how they see the issues in an open discussion with our audience of playwrights. Each critic brings a unique perspective to the discussion. Directing traffic for the panel will be 3GT Artistic Director and Resident Playwright, AJ Baker.
We expect the conversation to be entertaining, thought-provoking and maybe even a little bit dangerous!
