CP’s Weldon Receives NEA Fellowship

Glen Weldon, who's been writing about theater for City Paper since January 2007, was awarded a two-week fellowship at the Annenberg NEA Arts Institute at the University of Southern California. The program, according to the announcement, provides "intensive training for theater critics and their editors who work outside the country's major media markets." Ouch! Hey, Jake Tapper works in D.C.! That's major, right? ANYWAY, I was gonna call him and do a proper interview, but then I thought, Hey, why kill myself? I asked Glen to write up an interview with himself. And if you don't want to read that, at least spend some time with three of my favorite reviews he's done:

• The Price and Portia Coughlin (3/21/08)
• Maria/Stuart and Jerry Springer: The Opera (8/29/08)
• The "Beckett Duo" (11/7/08)

Glen even sent a headline, which, characteristically, I declined to use.
