There’s something magical about sitting in a theatre as the lights dim, the orchestra tunes, and the curtain rises. In that moment, anything feels possible.

Welcome to The Fifth Row—a space where I’ll share honest reviews, behind-the-scenes insights, and stories that celebrate the power of live performance.

Why The Fifth Row? It’s a nod to the idea that every seat in the theatre carries its own unique perspective. From the front row to the balcony, every audience member has a story, and I want to capture that energy in my writing.

Here, you’ll find:

Reviews of community theatre, regional productions, and touring shows

Features on the artists, directors, and crews who bring the stage to life

Previews of upcoming performances worth your attention

Conversations with theatre makers and audiences alike

My goal is simple: to celebrate live theatre in all its forms, from small-town stages to big city productions. Whether you’re a lifelong theatre-goer or stepping into the playhouse for the first time, The Fifth Row is for you.

So take your seat, the show is about to begin.

— Julie Buckler, Founder of The Fifth Row
