Terry Teachout
Theatre Critic for the Wall Street Journal.
Wall Street Journal drama critic Terry Teachout talks about his theatergoing experiences over the four years he’s held that position, including what he’s learned and what has surprised him; reveals the results of focus group research on arts coverage at the Journal, and how it has influenced his reviewing; explains why he is an inveterate blogger and how he compares bloggers to old media arts critics; shares the story of how he came to be commissioned by Santa Fe Opera to write the libretto for a new work to premiere in 2009 — as well as why we won’t be seeing his one playwriting effort on stage anytime soon; and declares his opinion on the role of enthusiasm in arts criticism.
