Chris Peterson started this site with a simple but bold mission: to say the things about theatre that others were too afraid to say out loud. What started as a local blog covering community theatre in Connecticut has grown into a nationally recognized voice in the performing arts world, covering Broadway, regional stages, high school productions, and everything in between.

OnStage Blog has made a name for itself by speaking truth to power. Whether calling out casting inequities, examining toxic behavior in educational programs, or lifting up underappreciated artists, this site has never shied away from tough conversations. It’s not just a review site or a news feed—it’s a place where the theatre community goes to talk about what actually matters.

From heartfelt tributes to behind-the-scenes realities, OnStage Blog invites you into a dialogue about theatre that feels more like sitting around a green room than reading a press release. If you love theatre and believe it can be better, welcome.
