Welcome to my blog. You’ll like it here. We have candy.
Intro to my blog
Hi, internet. My name is Lori, and welcome to my theatre blog (or, as my grandma would call it, my “blob.” She mixes up words sometimes. It’s cute and charming, and certainly not alarming. Hi, grandma).
In this blog, expect to see my reviews of shows I go see in Toronto, New York and beyond.

This blog is a space for theatre fans to geek out together, so I really hope you feel welcome here!

If you thought I’d let this one go quietly unpublished, well…you don’t know me very well. Photo credit: Steven Skybell in Fiddler on the Roof in Yiddish, by…
