 nFor  nearly twenty years Filichia\, the journalistic theatrical emperor
 \, has traveled as far north as Teaneck and  as far south as Cape May\, 
 dispensing thumbs up for some shows\, and  thumbs down for others.&nbsp\
 ; And those who write\, direct\, act and produce  could do nothing but g
 rin if they could bear the wrath of his terrible  swift sword. Who knows
  how many hundreds of worthy productions withered  on the box office vin
 e just because they just didn't happen to please  this grand poobah?\n&l
 dquo\;Many  an artist has wondered if this critic is so smart and has al
 l the  answers\, why doesn't write a play?&rdquo\; says ATG co-founder J
 im Vagias.  &ldquo\;Well Peter has done just that. Now it's our turn to 
 see how he cuts the  dramatic mustard. Now it's our turn to see how thic
 k his skin can be.&rdquo\;\nIf you want to see a critic put in his place
 \, come see a reading of Filichia&rsquo\;s Adam&rsquo\;s Gifts\, (direct
 ed by co-founder Joe Mancuso) a modern retelling of Dickens&rsquo\; A Ch
 ristmas Carol.&nbsp\; After  the reading Vagias will moderate a Q &amp\;
  A period with the audience  as Filichia takes the stage and sits in the
  hot seat.&nbsp\;\n&ldquo\;If you have ever wanted to see a critic get b
 ack some of his own\, here&rsquo\;s your chance&rdquo\;\, says newly min
 ted playwright Filichia.&nbsp\; &ldquo\;If  you like what I&rsquo\;ve wr
 itten\, sure\, tell me. But if you think it stinks  and that it's such a
  humiliation that I should never leave the house  again -- and most of a
 ll\, never have the nerve to criticize anyone else  ever again\, let the
  punishment fit the crime.&rdquo\;\nAmerican  Theater Group is a newly f
 ormed theater company specializing in plays  and musicals by American pl
 aywrights.&nbsp\; Founded by Rick Sordelet\, Joe  Mancuso and Jim Vagias
 \, ATG is in residence at Hamilton Stage\, the brand  new state-of-the a
 rt theater in Rahway New Jersey. ATG will begin its  inaugural season th
