Ep. 10: 47 Years of North Carolina Theater History Theater Critic Roy Dicks

Last month, in an article for ‘Fast Company,’ Jed Gottlieb wrote about being the last critic standing at a major Boston newspaper and why that even matters. In that article, Gottlieb writes that critics not only concretely bolster arts and culture but arts writers also provide a historical record of their beat like no other reporter. And here in Raleigh, it might be said, that nobody has bolstered the arts, theater, classical music, opera, and dance, more so than Roy Dicks, who wrote theater criticism for the ‘News &amp; Observer’ for over 20 years. Although he retired from the newspaper last summer, Roy is still writing. Hear what he has to say about the role of the theater critic and reviews, the evolution of arts coverage in print and online, and what’s next for him.Be sure to also listen to Episode 10 wherein Roy walks us through 47 Years of Triangle Theater History.About the GuestRoy C.
