A professional critic

And before that, he was the paper's theater critic for ten years. His writing has appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle, Los Angeles Times, USA Today, Newsday, American Theatre magazine, Men's Vogue and Variety as well as on Studio 360 on NPR. Mr. Weeks was an entertainment reporter for the Houston Post and an associate editor for Third Coast magazine. He has won three Katie Awards, Texas' highest journalism prize. He has appeared on C-SPAN's Booknotes and the PBS documentary, Sweet Tornado: Margo Jones and the American Theater, now available on DVD.

Mr. Weeks is a member of the National Book Critics Circle and was a member of the American Theatre Critics Association, hosting their 1995 convention.

Despite all that, he's a modest fellow. With good reason.
