L.A. THEATER, CONT.

I enjoyed Jan Breslauer’s coverage and commentary on the dearth of original theater in L.A. (“L.A. Theater’s Identity Crisis” (Oct. 1).

Whatever they say about L.A. theater, the community of newspaper and trade paper critics are wonderfully generous in the time they take to cover almost every new work that goes up on the boards--big or small. For the writer, it’s a four-star opportunity.
