"Theatre Critiquing: A Woman's Touch" is a panel that will explore the voice of the female theatre critic. When the mainstream press quotes theatre critics they tend to quote White males, but female critics have an important voice. Find out how they became theatre critics, why they do ii, what is their creative process. Hear what they look for in a production and why they have people who connect with their reviews. Find out also what happens when a negative review is called for. Women have a sensitivity to the world which also comes out in their reviews and captivates their readers, who then take their opinions and support the plays they feature.
