Michael Kennedy: The fading away of the critics is a blow to us all

Star Tribune: "Once upon a time, I had high hopes of impressing the world with my acting abilities. On my way to New York City from Burlington, Vt., I took a couple wrong turns and ended up in Minneapolis. I have yet to leave. I was instantly impressed with the growing number of theaters, museums, art galleries, music venues, dance companies, and the general artistic spirit of the place."
