Abstract |
Ann Holmes started her career as a volunteer at the Museum and Miller Theater. After seeing an editorial in the local newspaper which she thought was wrong, she decided to find a place to give her voice. She joined the Houston Chronicle in 1942, and worked for 40 years becoming its fine arts editor and chief critic, and helped shape the culture and arts of Houston. Holmes covered the Alley Theater, Houston Ballet and the Houston Grand Opera. During her years at the Chronicle, Holmes studied music theory and criticism and wrote several plays.
