Comments: I AM KILLING THE AMERICAN THEATER


aw, c'mon rj, I was planning to use that american theatre for something later on... jeez.

seriously, though, feingold is a very smart man who writes soley to display his own erudition and relevance, irrespective of what play he attends. the dude makes straw men for a living, i wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

Your single-minded pursuit to destroy American Theatre from the inside-out has finally been revealed! Blast you Feingold, you soul-less muckraking bufoon! Please allow me to say, RJ has never touched my young blood, or the bodily fluids of any other current members. It's only the alums he goes to for succor.

I have single-handedly ruined a few productions myself, although I haven't tried to massacre American Theatre. (shame on you)

At least it was the Voice. I got "everything in this play was good. Except Kate Sandberg" in the New York Times. That was cute.

Oh, and I got "there were two problems with this play. One was [the director]. The other was Kate Sandberg" in Vermont. Where it doesn't count.

I'll still work with you. (although after this comment that may seem like cold comfort)

You could still get an obie. I've decided I will not read any of my reviews. Hopefully I will be able to do this. For the sake of my sanity. Do you think this is foolish?

He is an excellent critic. Did you see? Did you see how he wrote Youngblood and then later wrote about "young blood"? He's clever that Feingold is, a treasure...why he's like fine...gold...?
Anyone?
C'mon!
RJ blows!

RJ, seriously, don't get discouraged by this one off-the-mark review; I saw your play last week and thought it was really neat and funny. The woman playing the chinese mother was particularly talented, and I do not think they were 'screaming' or 'inept.' Anyone else whose seen the play & agree with me want to chime in to lift RJ's spirits?
