Terry Teachout: “A prolific biographer and essayist who wrote exuberantly about drama”

From a Wall Street Journal obit by James R. Hagerty headlined “Terry Teachout, Wall Street Journal Drama Critic, Dies at Age 65”:

Terry Teachout, a prolific New York-based biographer and essayist who wrote exuberantly about drama for The Wall Street Journal, died early Thursday at a friend’s home in Smithtown, N.Y. He was 65 years old.

His companion, Cheril Mulligan, said a cause of death hadn’t yet been determined.

Mr. Teachout had written drama reviews for the Journal regularly since 2003. “He could never be pigeonholed,” said Eric Gibson, editor of the Journal’s Arts in Review pages. “Terry was never predictable.”
