Union-Tribune Theater Critic Takes Buyout

Dec. 15

By Angela Carone and Culture Lust by Angela Carone

In the immediate future, the UT won't replace me, but I'm certain the editors won't let theater go uncovered. It's just too important. They're likely to fill the position from the inside, perhaps with Jim Hebert who's a wonderful writer and has done quite a bit of theater reviewing and feature writing. However, neither he nor I know that for sure. We do know that Jim Chute, the arts editor, is committed to getting the beat covered, whether with two or three staffers or Jim and a free-lancer. I just don't know.
