Theater Critic Commits Suicide

Chris Page was a theater reviewer for the East Valley Tribune in Mesa, Arizona.

Page had worked for "Get Out," the Tribune's entertainment weekly, for more than five years and had been among a reported 11 people laid off about three weeks ago. The Tribune layoff followed an earlier one a couple of months ago in which four people were dismissed, including the editor of the features department, Cheryl Kushner. The Tribune, like many daily newspapers across the country, has been struggling to adjust to a sharp decline in circulation.
Page was also a fellow in the NEA's theatre critic fellowship program at USC in 2005.
