Critics in Conversation

A livestream with winners of the Edward Medina Prize for Excellence in Cultural Criticism and hosted by the American Theatre Critics/Journalists Association. The Medina Prize was created in 2022 to celebrate the life of Nuyorican theater critic, Edward Medina, who championed new, diverse voices in theater criticism and theater journalism. This year, 2024 honoree Christian Lewis (Variety, Queerty, Playbill) and 2023 honoree Gloria Oladipo (The Guardian, 3Views) engage in an enlightening conversation about the state of theater, navigating careers in arts journalism, their pathways to the arts, the importance of fresh perspectives, and more.
