How to get reviewed in OOBR

Getting a review in OOBR used to require you to be a member, since we reviewed works by members only. Since November 2008 we have abandoned that practice; now anyone can get a review. To ask for a review, please send a press release to reviews@oobr.com. We don't guarantee a review, since there are literally thousands of Off-Off-Broadway shows a year, but we'll try. We won't share your E-mail with anyone else.*

There are some shows we don't review, as follows:

  • Student productions
  • Readings
  • Short plays in longer programs
  • One-shot productions

What we do review is Off-Off-Broadway productions: Equity showcases in New York City, not just Manhattan, or non-union productions of equivalent budget.

*OOBR's editor John Chatterton has a number of theatrical ventures he will probably let you know about, including theatre festivals, rehearsal space, and access to general-liability insurance. He won't give your contact info to anyone else.
