"As a theater artist, there's always been an issue of how to get your audience involved," said co-creator Allison Goldberg. "I think there's a way we can take this addiction and obsession with new media and use it to bring people back into live theater." "Blogologues" takes the voices of various bloggers off the screen and on to the stage, turning their blogs into monologues. The production, which will run at UNDER St. Marks beginning...
