Adam Interviews Artistic Directors

by Slay on 12/07/2011

Dammit, Adam. I was totally gonna steal your “I Interview Playwrights” format and do this myself!

Adam Symkowicz has decided to follow-up his recent spat of 400+ Playwright Interviews by interviewing Artistic Directors. He kicks the series off by talking to Marc Masterson, currently of South Coast Rep, formerly of Actors Theatre of Louisville and Pittsburgh’s City Theatre.

CHECK IT OUT.

And in all seriousness, thank you, Adam, for doing this. Your series of Playwright Interviews already makes your blog one of the most revealing documents we have about the current state of our art, and I look forward to learning, cringing, and laughing throughout your new project.

One of the biggest influences on my way of thinking over the past couple of years has been Joel Salatin of Polyface Farms. (In fact, a PhD student even wrote a paper comparing Available Light’s methods to the alternative farm movement. Cool!) Here, from the Polyface Blog, are some thoughts on pricing that are worthwhile [...]

27.04.2011

We haven’t done that in a while. We used to have a really cool play reading series. We’re gonna try to do it again next year. At any rate, it was really nice to see & hear a couple of plays read aloud and then talk about them. Though, it was discouraging to hear a [...]
