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
