Theatre critic and LPTW member Arlene Epstein passed away on January 6, 2019 at the age 82. She wrote the weekly “Critic-at-Leisure“ column for the South Shore Record for 30 years and also wrote for the Nassau Herald.
Arlene was a member of the Drama Desk Awards, which named her a Lifetime Distinguished Service Member in 2018, and for which she served as a board member. She was a member of the Events Team for the organization and helped present a number of panels, networking socials, educational opportunities, and other events, including the organization’s 75th Anniversary Jubilee Gala.
Arlene was also a member of the Outer Critics Circle, the American Theatre Critics Association, and was a Tony Awards voter for many years. There was no one who loved theatre more or who was a greater supporter of those who make it. She will be sorely missed.
