"John, you wonderful guy - What a surprise mid-autumn gift - Screen
World! Next to Theatre World, it's my favorite devour-in-one-huge-gulp-book. It
arrived the day after Thanksgiving, the perfect day to enjoy its many wonderful
pages. Thank you - you doll. Hope all is well". Joshua Ellis was a
major press manager for over 60 Broadway productions. Working through the 1970's
and 1980's, he has managed press for plays such as Veronica's Room
(1973), The King and I (1977), The Elephant Man (1979), and Big
River (1985). John A. Willis (1916-2010), active in Theatre
World from the beginning, became its chief editor in 1965, holding that
position until 2008. Willis is regarded as one of the foremost theatre and
film historians of the 20th century. While producing (and presenting) the annual
Theatre World Awards, Willis also served on the nominating committee for the
Tony Awards. Theatre World, which received its own Tony for
Excellence in Theatre in 2001, continues under chief editor Ben Hodges.
