HOW TO COMMISSION
]
$100 covers our writers' fees for one review.
One addition to the archive. A way to mark a show that mattered.
Commission a friend's first production, a mentor's farewell, a company's tenth anniversary, the piece that made you think for weeks.
Full refund if we can't assign a critic.
The form asks for the show, dates, and where to send press materials.
We don't tell our writers if a piece was commissioned or not, and this is why: there will always be bias. Being a human is to live in context. But we'd prefer the bias not come from the commission.
