About Green Room Critic
Criticism written from inside the industry — for the craft-curious and the profession.
The Editorial Approach
We review the production that was made, not the ideal production we imagined. Every production has constraints — budget, venue, casting availability, production timeline. Good criticism understands those constraints and evaluates what was achieved within them. A community theatre mounting *Dear Evan Hansen* in 2026 is operating in a completely different context than the original Broadway production. That context matters.
This doesn't mean we're easy. It means we're specific about what we're critiquing and why.
