Got an email from Peter Filichia about the demise of his column. For those who are disappointed that theatermania.com has dropped his column and want to voice their displease, he suggested the following:
(Write) to
editorial@theatermania.comThen, notice at the very top of the front page, there’s a tiny blue banner that says “Click here to check out the NEW Theatermania.com BETA.” Once you do, you’ll see an orange bar at the lower right hand corner of the screen that says “Feedback.” If you’d put your message there, too, I’d be grateful.
So, that's that.
I know that after Ken Mandelbaum's column disappeared from Broadway.com, it was not worth checking out that site, and I think theatermania.com will be much the worse without Filichia's. Regardless of what your opinions of his opinions are, he is sparking discussion. And that's good.
