Season's Greetings 2011

The Rogue Critic has embarked on a year-end hiatus until early January. Until then, please enjoy this personal reflection on a Southeast Michigan theatrical institution celebrating its 30th anniversary.

"Why I cannot review A Christmas Carol at Meadow Brook Theatre"

This year has brought many amazing developments, for which I am grateful beyond measure. From a new website to a momentous Wilde achievement to the continuing bounty of the Rogue Critic Gas Card, it's been another unforgettable 365 days, 115 reviews, and 155 theatrical events. Although I'm in need of the break, I'm no less excited to do it all again.

This is Rogue P. Critic, signing off for 2011. See you in the new year!
