		<description><![CDATA[Hi Don, Yes, you&#039;re right, we did forget to mention the hard work that happened in the pit for Pirates. I apologize. It is easy to overlook the musicians in the team effort that makes up a musical production. 

MA (is the same Marty Hayes that is part of the load-in crew?  - please post your full name when commenting here, stand on your opinions, thanks) You&#039;ve hit upon one of the problems with our reviewing method: We discuss the show with each other to create the podcast. Then we provide a transcript of the audio. Unfortunately the spoken word is very different from the written word, so you see patterns that you are mentioning. 

We are always interested in having other people provide independent reviews for the site. There is not any other publication (web, magazine, or newspaper)  anywhere in the DC region that covers community theater as broadly as we do. We review two to five shows per week, 40+ weeks a year, from Fauquier to Annapolis. We provide a comprehensive auditions listing. We compile a performance schedule. We interview interesting people involved with local theatre. If you&#039;re interested in reviewing for us, send us an email.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I enjoy reading reviews and now offer one of my own.  It would be really good if you could come up with more descriptive adjectives than &quot;really good&quot; or opinions other than &quot;really liked&quot;.  It gets to be really boring hearing the same phrases repeated endlessly.  The lack of articulate speech makes one wonder if you are really qualified to pass judgement on others&#039; artistic works.  I really hope that you take this critique really seriously as you provide a really good service, but loose a tremendous (really large) amount of credibility with your really elementary level of speech.  Seriously, this is a comment meant,  not as a personal attack, but as a suggestion to be considered.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Very interesting to see a rather detailed &quot;review&quot; of our show. What a shame that not one single word is mentioned of the fine work of so many volunteer musicians in the &quot;pit&quot;. Perhaps the lack of any  such mention is due to the fact that the VISUAL is always paramount in the eyes and minds of so many. However, without the orchestra, the visual would be of no importance whatsoever in ANY musical production. What a shame to have neglected mention of the real &quot;guts&quot; of the show.
