Helen Shaw Named New York Times Chief Theatre Critic

Playbill: There is a new New York Times chief theatre critic: Helen Shaw. The outlet has been publishing reviews by a number of writers in the months since predecessor Jesse Green was reassigned earlier this year. That list of fill-ins notably did not include Shaw, who joins the Times after a stint as theatre critic and staff writer for The New Yorker, and a tenure as chief theatre critic at New York Magazine prior.
