Theatre Deserves Honestey, Even When It's Uncomfortable.

I’m a current Emerson College freshman who loves theatre enough to look at it critically.

 

I created this blog because I believe productions deserve thoughtful, transparent discussion, not just applause, and not just whispers around campus afterward. Theatre is an art form built on collaboration, vulnerability, and risk. It should also be a space where we can talk openly about what works, what doesn’t, and why.

 

I’ve chosen to write anonymously to protect that transparency. Emerson is a small community, and by remaining anonymous, I’m creating distance between myself and the social dynamics of our school, so that the work itself can stay at the center of the conversation.

 

When I write, I do not take personal relationships, prior experiences with individuals, or pre-existing thoughts about a show into account. Each production is approached as its own piece of art. My goal is not to target people, but to engage honestly with the work presented on stage.

 

This blog isn’t about tearing theatre down. It’s about respecting it enough to talk about it seriously.

 

If we want to grow as artists, we have to be willing to look at the work clearly.

 

And that’s what I’m here to do.
