Video Podcast: Best of 2009
Part I of our year-end roundup. Mark Lowry and Elaine Liner discuss the year in local theater.
Published Tuesday, December 29, 2009
Just how great a year was 2009 for local theater? Very. New theaters came out of the woodwork, risks were taken and several performances blew us away.
It gave your TheaterJones.com editors and co-founders, Mark Lowry and Elaine Liner, plenty to talk about. Listen to our discussion about the year that was in this video podcast, which features images of shows from the past 12 months.
Mark's individual take on 2009 (with lists!) is coming soon, and Elaine's will be posted later this week. And, before the year's up, we'll offer a look back at the Naughty Aughties.
Here's to 10 more years of great theater, peeps.
