About

Bryce Lambert is most comfortable in a room occupied by those >30 yrs. his senior. Perhaps that's why he started a blog on theater and classical music--or maybe it's just a symptom. His qualifications for arts criticism include an improvident English degree and some pidgin HTML. He hates Live Nation ticket fees, watching concerts via jumbotrons and buying tickets months in advance (or buying tickets at all). These are his primary reasons for going highbrow.
