In that issue, the Voice will debut a newly expanded theater section, including more weekly reviews and three full pages of comprehensive and easy-to-use theater listings. In all, the expanded coverage will represent a commitment of an additional page and a half of space at a time when many publications are cutting back on arts coverage. And at the core of the Voice's renewed commitment will be something other publications can't duplicate: the perspective and insight of New York's most experienced and respected theater critics.

Veteran Voice critic Michael Feingold will retain his leading role in the section, contributing two reviews per week. Feingold, who has covered theater for the Voice for 35 years, will be assisted by an all-star cast of contributing critics, whose five additional weekly reviews will round out the paper's in-depth approach.

An announcement of the paper's expanded commitment was made at last month's Obie Awards, the theatrical honors the Voice has bestowed annually since its founding in 1955. Among other things, theater patrons were promised a revamp re·vamp
