How to be a Rock Critic, based on the writing of Lester Bangs, written by Jessica Blank and Erik Jensen. Performed by Erik Jensen and directed by Jessica Blank. Manic. Impossibly creative. Dead of an overdose at 33. Lester Bangs was arguably America's greatest rock critic and the first to anoint the "punk" movement. His faith was shattered as the rebel ethos of the '70s gave way to the corporate pop of the '80s. Through his own words, this solo play sheds light on a groundbreaking, pioneering voice in music.
Presented by This is co-production with Center Theatre Group.
