Clarification: Be assured, EverGreen, that this thread has not left a bad taste in my mouth. I relish the free exchange of ideas. I would like to point out, however, that I never blamed Wheaton Drama for anything. I have been a regular patron since the 90s and have had many wonderful audience experiences. I’ve also had some awful experiences. But I still keep coming back. I sorry that you were disheartened that I thought it important that readers knew that there was another review that was dichotomous to the one on TribLocal, so that they could make an informed decision about seeing the show. I’ll let you know what I think after I see it tonight.

The Reveal: You are assuming that Clay Dalton is not my real name. I have noticed that some, like Goneril Lear, will use a nom de plume to protect themselves from any backlash within the small community theater world. But since I don’t associate with the theater community and don’t have to hide to avoid repercussions, using a pseudonym makes no sense. I am Clay Dalton, originally from Tallahassee Florida, where I graduated from a Christian high school and moved to this area to attend Wheaton College, and now call Wheaton my home. I have been seeing plays at Wheaton Drama since I arrived, and witnessed its transformation into the wonderful space that it is today. I am familiar with many of the players in the show, having seen them in various productions, and as a theater-enthusiast, I seek out information in various places, including TribLocal, NICOTH and your theater group on Yahoo. I have lurked in the shadows and have noticed trends and now feel the desire to share information about reviews I have found. Should I get actively involved in theater as other than an audience member, I would like to be able to broadcast show information. I have asked for membership to your Theater list so I can get the messages in e-mail and post my own messages (following the guidelines, of course), but have not received approval. I’m sure it’s forthcoming. You’re a stalwart enough fellow not to impede the free exchange of ideas. For observations and comments – well, those will go to NICOTH as soon as they approve my account. Plus I will post my reviews on TribLocal. By the way, your friend did not write a “good” review. It was a “favorable” review. The terms “good” and “bad” connote judgement on the part of the reader who may have a vested interest in the show reviewed. Perhaps it would be better stated as “favorable” or “unfavorable.” I am attending the show tonight. We’ll see which way I’ll go.
