Stage Preview: 'Off Record VII' logs in with a computer-age spoof

Post Gazette: "Now in its seventh year, 'Off the Record VII' still spoofs the city of Pittsburgh and all that makes us unique. As always, this one-night-only musical extravaganza pokes fun at local politics, politicians and other newsmakers, but this year, it turns its guns on itself. Welcome to 'Off the Record VII: Blogged to Death!' a satirical look at local media's attempt to stay afloat on the wave of technology."

I always like a good satire. It's nice to see that theater still can fulfill one of its original purposes: question society through satire of it. This show seems like a lot of fun poking fun at everyone, but also brings up real issues such as "local media's attempt to stay afloat on the wave of technology." Maybe it'll make some people think on the topic after when they go home.
