Critic
A graduate of the University of Wisconsin with a BS in English (1956) and Northwestern University with a PHD (1976), I have been reviewing plays for the past 20 plus years for Pioneer Press, the Lerner Newspapers and Chicagocritic.com, and am a member of the American Theater Critics Association. I am a retired professor of English and Journalism at Oakton Community College. My 1975 doctoral dissertation was “The Science Fiction Fan Cult,” and I was both a book reviewer and science fiction critic for the Chicago Daily News. Sixty-five years after the shock of being told, “There are no girls in the marching band” at the University of Wisconsin, I have returned to my love of drumming as a percussionist with the North
Shore New Horizons band.
