The Orlando Sentinel published this list October 3, 2008, of "idiosyncratic" knowledge nuggets about theatre in Orlando.
"But what about some of the more idiosyncratic things that go on in Orlando-area theater? Turns out there's lots to discover here, there and everywhere, and there are lots of bests to be found."
Their "bests" include the following (but I'm not reveling the "winners." You'll have to click on over there to find that out):
"Best Curtain Speech, Nicest old theater that was a hellhole not too long ago, Best place to see something edgy, Best place to see Orlando actors outside Orlando, Best place to see stars in the ceiling, Best theater we can no longer see, Best place to talk back to your actors."
And I dunno who wrote it. There was no writer name given. Or if there was, I couldn't find it.

Where on the page of the story is her name? I looked and couldn't find it. Was it in an obvious spot I just missed?

If you read it in the paper, Mark, there was what we call a sig (my photo) and my name. Online, maybe not.

Thanks for responding, Elizabeth. Why would a newspaper not publish the name of the person who wrote the article on their website? Is this a normal newspaper thing I am just not privy to?
