who are the Broadwayworld Critics?

I have read numerous reviews on a number of occasions from various Critics on Broadwayworld.com
So My question is..who are these critics? Are they reporters? independent writers? wanna be actors?
Just curious...anyone out here who may know.Please enlighten me.

I know most do...but are they legit is what I am asking. Can one truly go by what they say?? or are they biased? also are they fans of certain shows and performers?

good answer...so true!!but I would like to believe not all.

I do some reviews for BroadwayWorld.

I've got great experience as an actor: community theater, regional, summer stock, dinner theater, touring companies.

I've directed over 40 productions (high school, community theater)

I've done some television acting.

I've degined sets for BAREFOOT IN THE PARK, FIDDLER ON THE ROOF and MY FAIR LADY.

I've got a Master's Degree in Victorian Literature and am an avid theater-goer.

I also do celebrity interviews for BroadwayWorld and have gotten to know some impressive people in the performing arts.

Does this make me "legit"? I leave it to you to answer that.

Victorian Literature, huh? That's something you don't hear about every day. How interesting!

As mentioned, some of the BWW "reviewers" have bios listed on their columns. Some have degrees others do not. I think I'm safe in saying that all have a genuine love of the theater and enjoy the opportuinty to bring their theater experiences to the BWW readers. I might add that all volunteer their time and efforts for BWW, which I know Rob & Craig appreciate.

I've submitted about 73 articles for BWW since I was brought on to cover the Philadelphia/ S. Jersey area since 2003. Prior to that I wrote about 50 articles for Talkin'Broadway from 2001-2003.

In addition to my pro bono work with these sites, I also am a part-time freelance writer and have been compensated for program articles I was asked to write for Peter Nero & The Philly Pops, The Eastern Center For Performing Arts and other venue projects.

Besides writing, I am a independant booking agent and events planner working with various Broadway and regional performers and venues. I produce and manage a series of Broadway theatrical workshops for schools and community/regional theater groups. I was also asked to serve as a student mentor for the Merriam Theater's student critics program.

I have no desire to be involved in anything that would put me onstage or in the limelight.

FYI, I am actively seeking an additional reviewer for the Philadelphia area to assist me and in time take over the region. Feel free to contact me at pbspotlight@yahoo.com.
