Critic Charles Isherwood Leaves NY Times

AMERICAN THEATRE: His first review for the Grey Lady was of Tim Miller’s Us, and his last will apparently be this dual review of Long Wharf’s Endgame and Yale Rep’s Imogen Says Nothing. After a dozen years and change, the era of Charles Isherwood as The New York Times‘s second full-time theatre critic is officially over, Times editors have confirmed. Though they’re mum about the details of his departure, as is Isherwood, the Times has also put to rest one fear about what this may mean for the Times‘s arts coverage: They do intend to fill the position, maintaining their current employment of two staff theatre critics to cover New York and regional theatre, along with a pool of freelancers.
