Many newspapers and local entertainment websites seek out reviewers to critique local theatrical productions, often as a means to promote quality cultural events in the local area. These theatrical reviews do not have to be written at a Broadway level, but they should be fair and accurate. A good theatrical review is a blend of both positive and negative aspects, usually with an eye towards improving future performances by that particular theater company. Writing a good review of a play doesn't always mean harsh criticism, but rather an insight into what a typical audience member might expect from the production. Here are some tips for writing a quality theatrical review for a local newspaper or entertainment tabloid.

  1. Before attending the theatrical production itself, do as much research as you can on the play's history. Obtain a copy of the script from a library or search for it online. Read a biography on the play's author, which can offer a lot of insight into the subtext of the play itself. Find older reviews from other critics, especially professional reviewers who may have attended the original production. All of this information may be in magazine collections at the library. If a movie version of the play exists, view it several times as well. The best version to watch, however, is a taping of a live performance. Movies based on plays often change major plotlines or dialog, so become familiar with both versions.

  2. Contact a local newspaper or entertainment magazine to confirm a need for a theatrical review.You may be asked for samples of yourwriting style, either from previously published clippings or a mock review of a famous play.Some media outlets may not be interested in local productions, while others welcome the publicity generated by reviews. Ask if there are complimentary (free) tickets available for the performance orif you will be responsible for your own expenses. There is usually a short deadline for reviews, so be prepared to write yours within a day or so of the production.You might also consider writing a review 'on spec,' which means writing a complete review and then submitting it as an unsolicited article. Make sure you understand the submission procedure for the newspaper or magazine seeking a review. Should you send it by fax, email or computer disk?
