Drum roll please: And now our first ever weekly ticket giveaway.  Choosing the first winner has been no easy task – in part because we’ve already stirred some quality discussion, but also because some of the best remarks have come from anonymous peanut gallery-members. For example, it was mighty exciting when Dr. Johnson’s old compadre Topham Beauclerk dropped by Richard Patterson’s piece to remind us to get “past the cocktail line, and really pay attention.”

But in the end, this week’s tickets go to Tim Evans who commented on an interview with Mace Perlman. Tim returned to the post after going to see the show and added his thoughts. This is exactly the kind of feedback we’re looking for on this site, so Tim gets a couple of passes to the Out of the Loop Festival, which opens March 4. See how easy that is? Now get commenting.

Next week’s winner will receive tickets to Texas Ballet Theater’s Romeo and Juliet at the Winspear.
