New Jersey theaters "applaud" their supporters by Peggy McGlone
The crowd - which included members of the state Council on the Arts, officials from the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation and leaders of the alliance's member theaters - also saluted the work of Star-Ledger arts editor Linda Fowler and theater critic Peter Filichia, who has reviewed their work for 15 years. Fowler and Filichia leave their positions this fall, part of the downsizing of the newspaper's staff.
