John Moore was named one of the 12 most influential theater critics in the United States by American Theatre magazine in 2011. His online innovations prompted the Chicago Tribune to suggest that The Denver Post‘s online theater coverage was the best in the nation. Now, as a freelance journalist, he's exploring new storytelling techniques through the arts and culture web site he founded, CultureWest.Org. He is devoting much of 2013 to developing the manuscript for a theatrical exploration of suicide that combines journalism, live theater, multimedia, modern dance and cutting-edge rock music.
