What is the state of theatre criticism now?

Join HowlRound and host Kait Kerrigan (@kaitkerrigan; @kaitandbrian) on Monday 13 August 2018 for a twitter chat to explore the current and future of reviews and criticism.

The conversation may cover topics such as the place of traditional theatre reviews in the age of social media, the value of professional criticism versus theatre artists reviewing each other’s work, spaces for commentary beyond a “thumbs up or a thumbs down,” and how theatremakers can and should respond to reviews with problematic content.

We want to hear from you, whether you’re an artist, critic, scholar, student, or a combination of these roles! Use #howlround in your tweets between 1pm-2pmPT/3pm-4pmCT/4pm-5pmET/20:00GMT to make your voice heard.
