Typically, my blog is devoted to musical theatre since that is the genre I am most interested in writing about. It doesn’t mean that I don’t attend plays as well. In fact, I enjoy a good play as much as I enjoy a good musical. I choose, however, to focus my writing on musicals in order to set myself boundaries so that I don’t go off on tangents on every topic that inspires an opinion in me. Every once and a while, however, I see a play that is so stirring and evocative that I have to set aside my rules and go on a tangent anyway. The Woodsman, conceived and written by James Ortiz and executed to haunting perfection by the Strangeman & Co. ensemble, is a show that simply grabbed a hold of me and refuses to let go and I have to write about it.
