Hi all,

Firstly I'm not the reviewer, just the message bearer ...

A review of ARENA's "Temporo" was posted(1) by Touchstone over in the Billboard Bulletins forum. Rather than copy & paste the whole thing here, I thought it'd be better for you to go and look in the Billboard forum. =)

Another review was put up(2) on the IndiePerth website, which was somewhat less glowing. They also shredded Blak Yak's "Red Dwarf II: Kryten" so our (sincere) consolations go to them as well as to ourselves!

And in blatant self-promotion of our website, an easy way to get to all of these reviews is to visit www.arenaentertainment.com.au and click on the "Reviews & Testimonials" page.

Cheers,

Andrew S

"perhaps community theatre should ask itself if it WANTS to be reviewed"

ARENA usually doesn't seek professional reviews. We prefer the honest responses of audiences to our shows, something that has served us very well over the years in regard to our Theatre For Schools productions, and more recently with our Community Theatre projects.

The "price tag" of just being featured on the indie.perth website was a "request" for free tickets for opening night and the promise of a review. We were not told about the tickets-and-review bit until after we had been accepted for posting on their website. Something for other groups to look out for. Not that I see other theatre companies flocking to indie.perth to be reviewed . . .
