TheaterWeek

TheaterWeek

TheaterWeek was a favorite magazine among theater artists and theater lovers. It covered Broadway, off-Broadway, regional, and educational theater with articles theat included profiles of actors, directors, designers and behind the scenes looks at particular shows. John Harris edited the magazine during its heyday, and such columnists as Peter Filicia, Ken Mandelbaum, and Davi Napoleon were featured.

The magazine was said to falter from financial mismanagement when after more than 20 years of publishing, it folded.
