The Mr. Cranky Archive
of Suite101.com Theatre articlesAfter more than six years and maybe a coupla hundred articles, I bid a fond farewell to Suite101.com Theatre. The articles go back so far that some of the sites mentioned have moved on to their greater reward, while others have simply changed their names or URLs. I've gotten grayer, had more productions, gotten crankier with critics, doomsayers, and naysayers.
Below is a complete listing of the archives of Suite101.com Theatre articles. For those who need to travel linearly, here's a chronological listing. You'll also find links on each article leading to the next and previous articles in order of date of publication.
