In the third of his unique takes on theatre ~ THIS IS NOT A REVIEW: Lonesome George Goes to the Theatre ~ Kerry Stewart Lengel offers his usual insightful perspective on Ballet Arizona's World Premiere of JUAN GABRIEL.
Kerry served as the very popular and highly esteemed professional theatre critic and reporter on theater, film, fine arts and popular culture for The Arizona Republic for 15 of his nearly 25 years at the paper.
