Newcity Stage: For thirty-three years, Hedy Weiss was the drama critic of the Chicago Sun-Times, the second paper of the Second City, writing untold thousands of bylined reviews. As the paper shrank in response to the changing media landscape, Weiss’ coverage responsibilities grew, eventually encompassing everything from dance to opera to classical music to the fine arts—everything it seems but the trotters at Hawthorne Racecourse—on top of her thrice-weekly or so theater reviews and features. Over time, Hedy Weiss became the Bright One’s culture staff, along with veteran celeb-watcher Bill Zwecker and film critic Richard Roeper.
