Dearest Cleveland theater community. Just a short post to let you know that I have decided to step down as theater critic for the Cleveland Jewish News. I will continue to serve as a freelancer for the paper but, mostly, I will be assuming the challenging role of grandfather to Isabelle “Izzy” Rose Abelman. I can’t begin to tell you how fortunate I am to have been involved in the Cleveland theater community over the years, as a performer and an arts journalist. It has, among other things, brought me in contact with you. What a pleasure watching your work and writing about it! I’m sure the CJN will soon announce my replacement and she/he/they will serve you well. All the best, Bob Abelman
