You may know Peter Filichia from his 19 years as The Star Ledger’s theater critic or as a columnist for Masterworks Broadway, author of several books, Broadway Radio personality, or playwright. Filichia has worked in and around the theater for decades, he’s seen shows in 47 states and 20 foreign countries (he keeps a list), and after nearly 30 years of hosting the Theatre World Awards, he will be honored with their 2024 TWA Special Award.
Peter spoke with The Jersey Arts Podcast about theater criticism, how he fell in love with the art form, some of his favorite New Jersey theater experiences, and why he views himself as a "theatrical matchmaker" for audiences.
