Dear Friends,

There¹s been much howling about the lack of global theater listings online, and the reduction of them in print, so I¹ve finally been able to get permission to post comprehensive global theater listings on a flat file blog that will replicate the form of the listings in the print edition, but will be even more comprehensive because it will include items that are sometimes cut for space in print.

I expect the first edition will be up by noon, Thursday.

This blog will always have the URL:

http://blogs.laweekly.com/ladaily/stage-news

I¹ll try to post this once a week with some news about town, and will gladly accept tips from people who know more than I do — which are many, at any given time.

Do check it out tomorrow afternoon, and if you like the framework of what you see, please spread the word. It¹s important that not only theater practitioners know there¹s a comprehensive listings database, but readers as well.

Your comments are always welcome,

Best wishes,

–Steven
