Man, just as soon as I start mentioning blogs, I find out about more!
In addition to the Barksdale Buzz mentioned below, there is also a Theatre IV specific blog. Not as buzzy at this point, but it may grow!
Also, I got a communique from one of Richmond's great expatriates, Rick St. Peter, who tells me that things are hopping out at the Actors Guild of Lexington (Ky). He blogs at length here -- and also regularly borrows Richmond great Scott Wichmann for his productions. I'm looking forward to seeing Scotty work his magic with Felix Unger this weekend out at Hanover Tavern.
Finally, one of Richmond's most talented actresses (yes, I'm spreading the compliments thickly today!) has recently started up a blog as well, that she mentioned in one of the comments below. But I'm waiting on confirmation from her to list it here on the main page. You can go searching or wait until I get the word...
It's clearly getting to the point where I could just do blogstuff 24/7 -- reading, surfing, commenting, etc.. With all this, who has time to see shows?

I'll have to wait until "Tempest" wraps, but BetterHalf and I already have tickets to see our friends do their work in "Odd Couple" in late July. In addition to the fun of watching what Scott and David will bring to make Felix and Oscar fresh and new again, it will be big time fun watching Scott play the bumbling romeo opposite his real-life wife, Jennie Meharg, as one of the coo-coo Pigeon sisters. I saw David a few weeks ago, just after rehearsals started, and he said how much fun he was having already, so I'm sure that enjoyment will translate onstage when the Tavern seats are full.
I'm also certain that Joe Pabst will make this a snappy, crackling, fun production (like a bowl of Rice Krispies!) Kidding aside...I envy you the chance to catch opening weekend for this show Dave. Enjoy, I'm sure it will be a blast!
At the ART blog, we keep a current "Theatre Events" listing, including links to the theatre's and run-dates. Folks can easily check out what's playing and upcoming: http://art-newsletter-richmond.blogspot.com/. We scour all the local theatre Web sites and try to keep this as current as possible. Sometimes we also blog on items of interest. Feel free to check us out, and sign up for our yearly newsletter honoring the very best of Richmond theatre!
Thanks for the reminder, ART! I will add a link to you ASAP on the front page.
Best regards!
I gotta say, it's nice to see ART honoring theatre achievements in Richmond by polling both audience and cast/crews alike. Kudos to Arthur for his annual awards based on votes from those who come to see (and perform and produce) Richmond theatre.
Dave, thanks for the picture last night!! boy, that took me back... Dag, do you realize We're closing in on ten years since the 'Livin La Vida Broke-a' STYLE article?? The whole gang (minus Kevin Edwards & Tiffany, who have both dropped off the face of the earth) will be at the July 7th Lost Colony Anniversary Celebration in Manteo. I have to miss it, but I'll be there in spirit. Anyway, thanks for coming last night-- I look forward to your thoughts on the production!!
I'm glad you liked the picture! I can't really believe it's going to be 10 years... There's been a lot of water under the bridge since then.
Very cool that the gang will be back together -- though I can't imagine it really seems like the gang without you there. Will Eddie be there? What the heck is he doing these days?
Enjoyed the "OC" -- more complete thoughts on the way...
