Formed in 2009 by a group of the most passionate theatre bloggers on the World Wide Web, the Independent Theater Bloggers Association (ITBA) is currently comprised of 50 bloggers from New York and well beyond who actively write about live theatre.

The members of the association regularly blog about all aspects and all varieties of both commercial and non-profit theater, from big Broadway musicals performed in Times Square, to the most unique forms of entertainment performed off-off Broadway on the Lower East Side, as well as productions all over the country and all over the world. Collectively, they see thousands of productions, and, without being paid or prodded, they write about them.

The Association was formed out of a desire to provide structure to the quickly growing theatrical blogosphere, as well as to give new media voices a chance to recognize excellence.

I'm proud to be a member of this fledgling organization, and I'm delighted to have already cast my ballot for the 2010 ITBA Awards.

This is Steve On Broadway (SOB).


In keeping with the new Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regulations that unfairly discriminate against bloggers, who are now required by law to disclose when they have received anything of value they might write about, please note that I have received nothing of value in exchange for this post.
