Erik you were in town for Glenn Berg's O Lovely Glowworm, right? Sounds like there's a lot of resonances between this production and that one, care to elaborate on that on your blog or something? Even better if you could use the discussion to also draw some critical perspective on the evolution of Portland's two big-budget theaters since that show. Or is it a facile comparison?

O Lovely Glowworm was before my time, and before Erik's. (Here's the review we ran:

Actually, I'm not sure there's a critic currently working at any of the local publications who held the job in 2005... some of the O's freelancers have probably been around that long, but I think that's it.

Alison,

I think Bob Hicks and Barry Johnson (both formerly of the Oregonian and now both with their own arts blogs) were here for O Lovely Glowworm. But yes, I believe it pre-dates Ben Waterhouse at the WW slightly.

Oh yeah, I was just talkin' print. Didn't mean to snub the bloggers!
