Alley Theatre

In general, when referencing a previously published article in a web format, it's customary to provide a link to the article, not just the date it was published. I'd have liked to read the review of Treasure Island not just the excerpts you provided.

The Alley Theatre's thin-skinned reaction is telling: they have become accustomed to boosterish press, which is the new standard in Houston publications. (I was about to say Houston 'Journalism') I mean, is there another local publication besides the Press and Chron (sometimes) who actually criticize anything? All these dopey flack-driven magazines (002, Envy, Houston Modern Luxury, Tribeca, etc) are offering editorial blow-jobs to anything that deems itself 'art' or 'upscale'. So, when the Press comes along with a critical review, the Alley is naturally taken aback, "Oh, that's personal!". Ditto with the prententious restaurants who get skewered by Robb Walsh.
Pelase, don't stop pulling punches. I don't always agree, but a healthy brain needs more than cosmetically-enhanched, smiling party shots, and recycled press releases.
