Also in this episode, we take a look at a social mediakerfuffle involving another theatre writer and a fight about the role of theatre criticism – and a few other things. This leads to a discussion about what we should expect from a review and the role of the critic.

The episode wraps up with a conversation with Chris Medina, founder of Colorado Springs’ Funky Little Theatre Company. Their new show is Four Old Broads, and Alex and Chris also talk about the theatre scene in the Springs, Funky’s history and a few other things.
