Emily S. Mendel
Emily S. Mendel, a writer, and photographer, has been a regular contributor to culturevulture.net since 2006, where she concentrates her reviews on San Francisco theater and art. As a native New Yorker (although now a long-time San Francisco Bay Area resident), Emily grew up loving and studying theater, from Off to On Broadway, as her multi-volume Playbill collection attests. Ending her 30-year law practice has given Ms. Mendel the time to indulge in her love of travel and the arts.
