To anyone wondering about this blog...

South Florida Theatre News has been silent for quite some time now and some of you have been wondering why.  Let me just say first that SFTN has no plans of going away.  The more outlets the South Florida Theatre Community has to get information out to the public the better. 

As anyone who reads this blog and/or the "What I've been doing..." tab on the right hand side knows, I am also a sound designer and theatre tech in the community.  The amount of work that I have been getting over the past year has steadily been growing.  And with the 2012-2013 theatre season upon us, I am busier then I have ever been.  Just this past week I opened up two great shows (How I survived this is beyond me): "Sylvia" for the Boca Raton Theatre Guild and "The All American Genderf*ck Cabaret" for Thinking Cap Theatre.  Both are great shows and I encourage you to see them.  The "Cabaret" one I am running so say hi to the guy in the booth if you come by.

It is great doing what I love with so many talented theatre companies.  However, with my day job and family life, it leaves virtually no time left over to get posts ready for this blog.  For that I apologize.

I do not plan on going away and neither should you.  The going will be slow as I try to integrate posting back into my routine, but I do hope to get back on to a more consistent schedule in the foreseeable future.  I will also update the side tab more frequently to keep you up to date with all of my current projects.

Thank you for reading South Florida Theatre News.  And remember that you are our most valuable patron.  Without you, we wouldn’t be here.

Problematic Programming Announcment

Due to a very busy week of tech rehearsals at empire stage for "LAST CALL",  the weekly review round-up, This Week In Theatre History, and the weekly blog watch post will not be posted for this week.  They all should return next week. 

Also the Blog Watch might turn into more of a daily feature.  On the days when I find something interesting enough to pass along that is.

A Message from South Florida Theatre News

I would like to take this opprotunity to thank everyone who has been reading my blog since I opened up SFTN here at blogspot.com on November 14 of last year.  Our stats have just about doubled every month since we started and February is no exeption.  Our total stats for January 2012 were 1,253 pages views and we have already surpased that mark this month. 

This blog started out as a one man Podcast several years ago when the local newspapers started to report less and less about the local art and theatre scene.  Back then I had the time to produce it.  I hope to start it back up again in the future hopefully for the 2012-2013 theatre season.  Until then I may post links to some of the content that I have stored up from past episodes.

Everytime you visit please take a look at the ads on the right hand side of the screen for anything that might interest you.  Clicking on the ads found there will go a long way to help fund this blog.  In the future I would like to every so often review some shows for you myself, when my schedule permits, without having to bum tickets from the theatres.

From the 'Show Openning' posts at the begining of the week to our various 'Blog Watch' posts at the end, if you are a theatre patron in South Florida or a theatre professional, there is something here for you. Tell everyone you know who is in to theatre, one way or another, that one of their news sources should be The South Florida Theatre News.
