Don Shirley joined LASTAGETimes.com in late 2009 to write the LA Stage Watch column of commentary about theater in the L.A. area. He has observed the scene since the early ’80s: as a KCRW contributor and a Los Angeles Times free-lancer, then as a Times staff reporter and frequent reviewer from 1990 to 2006, and as theater critic of LA CityBeat from 2006 until the alternative newspaper and web site folded in 2009.

Don chooses his own topics and expresses his own opinions, which are not necessarily those of LA STAGE Alliance or its members. He welcomes disagreeing comments – especially those that are thoughtful and civil.
