ATCA Connects | Why, and how, to start a newsletter as a theater critic

March 15, 2022 @ 8:00 pm - 9:30 pm EDT

Free

Over the past few decades, theater criticism has moved from newspapers and magazines to blogs, social media, video and more. This month, our topic is newsletters. Why should you, a theater critic, start a newsletter? What are the tools you need to get started, what content should go into it, how do you find subscribers and how might it bring in revenue?

Lauren Halvorsen

Joining us for this event will be Lauren Halvorsen (@halvorsen), a writer, editor, administrator and dramaturg from Washington, D.C. Her newsletter, Nothing for the Group, was a 2021 Editor’s Pick for “Best Way to Learn About the American Theatre Industry” by the Washington City Paper. nothingforthegroup.substack.com

Katie Buenneke (@kbuenneke) is a member of the Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle and a theater critic for Stage Raw. Her work has appeared in LA Weekly, the Atlantic, Paste Magazine, Los Angeles Magazine, the Village Voice and more. She is the creator of Theater Digest. theaterdigest.substack.com
