Hello! This is it folks, the big meta episode where a projection designer (or . . . whatever, we get into it) talks to another projection designer. It was a huge pleasure for me to sit down with Patrick Lord in the comfy confines of the Silver Spring library. This was aaaaaaalll the way back in August and I’ve been keeping it in my pocket for a rainy month, which is November. This year it’s thanks to A Wonder in My Soul over at Center Stage in Baltimore and not to my usual November squeeze of the Washington Ballet’s version of The Nutcracker at the Warner, which you should definitely check out because it is still pretty great. Patrick is a busy busy guy these days, so I’m very glad I could squeeze this chat in with him before the season got away from us both. We might have recorded this in the summer, but we talk about evergreen topics like growing the capacity for our corner of the design world in DC and just what it means to be a media/video/projection design person in the world. It’s good stuff, IMO, biased as I am. Enjoy!…

Ok, I did not actually sit down for a chat with any arsonists (not even the amazing actors who play the arsonists, Kimberly Gilbert and Tim Getman), but I did have a fantastic conversation with Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company's Connectivity Director, Kristen Jackson, Civic Organizer Laurenellen McCann, and Literary Director Kirsten Bowen to talk about Woolly's incredibly trenchant production of Max Frisch's classic The Arsonists . One of the excellent things that we talk about is all the many events and conversations that Woolly is organizing around the show (including open rehearsals and design jams in the run up to technical rehearsals). There are post-show discussions after every show, not as talk backs, but as opportunities for audience members to talk to each other about what they thought. You can find all of these events at the Related Events page on Woolly 's main show page for The Arsonists . Coming up next you can be talking Violence and Power with Collective Action for Safe Spaces Executive Director Jessica Raven on the 23rd of September and Complicity and Creating Dialogue with theatre practitioner Elena Velasco on the 30th of September, among others. The Arsonists is already in previews. It opens September 12 and runs through October 8, click here for performance dates . It was truly excellent have this chat about a great production of play I love that absolutely speaks to our (all too interesting) times . I'm hoping to see you at some of these events, but if not, I hope you check out this production and fight on. #Resist…
When I was doing my research on this year's Capital Fringe , I stumbled across one theater company in particular that got my attention: Naked Theatre Company . I was absolutely fascinated by their desire to create a 21st century theatre company that understood the open source community and that wanted to bring people into the company, not just to see the shows, but to be a part of the devising process and to give them some stake in those shows. On top of that, they wanted to organize as an LLC rather than register as a non-profit, which comes with a whole host of expectations and obligations for a theatre company. I was fortunate enough that Rachael Murray, one of the co-founders and a co-director, had some energy left after her Fringe tech rehearsal for Clickb@it , a devised show featuring live, in-person, recreation of Internet memes, to chat about the company, the show, and what it's like to be on the cutting edge of dreaming up what theatre could be. I hope you enjoy our conversation and I hope you support Naked theatre by checking out Clickba@it : it premieres on July 11 at 7:00 PM in the Sprenger at the Atlas Performing Arts Center ( ticket info ). Check it out!…
Hello again! My gosh, it's a been awhile, since last Fringe in fact and what better way to end a hiatus than to dive back into the deep waters and strong current of the Capital Fringe Festival. First up, I talked to the creative team behind The N asty Women of the Ecstatic Rainbow Mystical Retreat (get all your ticket info for CapFringe here ), who were generous enough to let me borrow some of their rehearsal time to talk about the show, the female gaze, Capital Fringe, finding a place in our lives for theater, and a whole lot more. The Nasty Women is an adaptation of Euripides' Bacchae written by Lisa Alapick. It is directed by Shari Lewis, and produced by Catherine Aselford, of Guillotine Theatre (formerly The Georgetown Theatre Company ) and stars Tony Greenberg as King Pentheus. The Nasty Women of the Ecstatic Rainbow Mystical Retreat premieres on July 11 at 5 PM in the Sprenger Theater at the Atlas Performing Arts Center. I had a great time talking to this group. I think we all wanted to have a longer conversation but they had that whole rehearsal thing, so I am happy to be able to bring what we got to y'all. Enjoy!…
Twitter keeps being a source of wonder and surprise connections. Richard Byrne reached out to me after I sent the bat-signal for more Fringe producers and put me in touch with Greg Oliver Bodine , author and star of Poe, Times Two and we put together a podcast with Greg and DeLisa White , director and frequent collaborator, in between his rehearsal and the opening gala for the 2016 Capital Fringe Festival . My recording venue fell through, so we adjourned to Plan b for burgers and beer and a chance to talk about Poe, Times Two and the advantages of living with a show for a long time in a Fringe setting and directing philosophies. It's a packed 32 minutes (and it's at a bar, so the audio is a bit different, set your volume accordingly). Please check out Poe, Times Two , which opens on July 9th and check out an amazing event at Eat the Rich on July 13 from 5 - 7 PM (it would have been at Mockingbird Hill , because amontillado is sherry and that's what you drink at Mockingbird Hill , but they are doing some work on the place). You can find the Poe, Times Two schedule and get tickets here . Enjoy!…
Well, the delightfully small world of DC Theatre keeps on giving (as does the amazing Kate Robards , who you might have heard of, if not from me , then from this awesome review ). One bat-signal goes out and several more answers are received and here we are, talking to Helen Aberger of Victorian Lyric Opera Company out of Rockville, who is directing a brand new opera called Do Not Disturb with VLOC's experimental company, Forgotten Opera Company. Helen was an absolute delight and I hope y'all see her show, which opens July 9th and you can find the rest of the dates (and tickets!) here . Please check the opera out, either before or after you check this out, whatever suits your fancy.…
It's Fringe time in the Capital (not to be confused with the Capitol , which is looking mighty fine these days) and we are kicking it off right: with podcasting. First, we had The Real World: Kabul's Emily Liner and now we have Studio Theatre alum and world-class human being, Kate Robards ! Her (second!) solo Fringe show is called Ain't That Rich and you can catch it starting on July 7th at the MLK Library on 9th and G (among other times, but always in that place). This one was really fun, and not just because Kate is fantastic person and charming AF, but also because it was recorded over the Interwebs instead of face to face! I'm new to that area of audio life and my audio sounds like an echo chamber (for, like, reasons), but Kate sounds fantastic, so don't let my inadequacies keep you from listening her talk about the DC theatre scene, what it meant to go through Studio Theatre's apprenticeship program, and the joys of self-producing.…
We are kicking off some Capital Fringe (buy your buttons!) coverage this week with not one but two chats with folks who are producing their own work, which is a celebration of what Fringe is all about: self-producing! First up, the playwright and producer of The Real World: Kabul , who is inspired by the story of the lonely satellite channel in Kabul, Tolo TV , (that's the one in Afghanistan, if you are wondering) that dreamed up Afghan Star , among other delights. That playwright and producer is Emily Liner! And she is a pretty cool cat, as you would expect from a go-getting self-producing theatrical neophyte. The Real World: Kabul has its premiere on July 7th at the Atlas Performing Arts Center's Lab II at 9:00 PM (once again the Capital Fringe folk have you covered). Check The Real World: Kabul out and check this out!…
It was a long and winding road to get here, but Kathryn Zoerb's (of the OP production of The Winter's Tale put on by Baltimore Shakespeare Factory - you may remember them ) recommendation for a podcast finally came through (thanks Kathryn!). I sat down with Toby Mulford, Rachel Spicknall Mulford and Kaiylah Watts to take about commedia del arte (and how Italians say all the vowels), remembering how plays used to be performed and what that can bring to a show, translations, multi-lingualism, and access. Faction of Fools is a resident of Gallaudet University's Eastman Studio Theatre and a major component of their work is full access for the deaf and hearing impaired by creatively integrating American Sign Language into the fabric of the show itself, a topic that I hope to take up soon in a later podcast. In fact, a transcript of this show will be appearing in the near future, I will keep you updated. In the mean time, catch up with Kathryn, Toby, Rachel, and Kaiylah as the PWYC preview of The Miser is on Thursday, June 2nd with the show up it's run on Friday, June 3rd. You can find the dates here , as well as many other things Faction of Fools and of course, you can buy tickets to The Miser here . Follow Faction of Fools on Twitter and Facebook (and follow Gwen Grastorf on Twitter as well, she's tons of fun).…
I've been working my way around the theatre and I am proud to say that I've got another awesome front office conversation in the can! I've been casting my net further afield, going from people I know to people I've never met in my everloving life. I'm story working off of people that I have already interviewed and while digging into Pinky Swear's artistic associates (hi Karen !), I discovered a combination that I've been dying to get on the show in the form of Amanda Herman (watch out, that link might be a little out of date, but she will respond, I promise!) Amanda was recently a fellow with Shakespeare Theatre Company and she has since become the Marketing and Development Manager for NextStop Theatre Company waaay out in Herndon (like, Dulles' front door step). We got to talking about what NextStop Theatre is up to (and up to next ), transitioning from community theatre to professional theatre, intern life, what non-profit boards do, and all kinds of great inside baseball on marketing and development. I had a blast. It was totally worth that trip through downtown DC at rush hour and Fairfax County's silly toll roads. Check out NextStop's next production, opening May 12, City of Angels (a jazzy noir film thing with a score by Cy freaking Coleman , one of Mel Tormé's good buddies). And ENJOY!…
I recently teamed up with DC Metro Theater Arts to start providing reviews (of movies even!). In fact, there's already one up on the site: a review of Baltimore Shakespeare Factory's production of The Winter's Tale . I know that I should probably talk more about the reviewing and the writing and stuff and I will, but what matters right now is that several members of the company of The Winter's Tale were gracious enough to get together with me and talk about Baltimore Shakespeare Factory and original pronunciation . A shortened version of this chat, the part that features an audio demonstration of what precisely that means, will show up over at DC Metro Theater Arts very soon. But for you, podcast listeners, you get the full experience. I sat down with Emily Sucher (assistant director), Brendan Edward Kennedy (Florizel), Terry O'Hara (Philoxenes), Chris Cotterman (Leontes, oh and BSF Associate Artistic Director), and Kathryn Zoerb (Mamillius/Perdita), a talented and fun group of people. They are also busy, busy people. Kathryn will be appearing in the upcoming Faction of Fools production of The Miser , featuring a brand new translation. That runs from June 2 to June 26. Brendan is in a stage reading of Arthur Schnitzler's The Green Cockatoo , part of WSC Avant Bard Scripts in Play Festival , this Thursday (April 14). Emily is in Arcturus Theater Company's production of August Strindberg's The Pelican , is reading Ophelia for "Gertrude, Queen of Denmark" on April 23rd at The Writer's Center , and she will be in Twelfth Night , which is, as Chris wants to remind everyone, is part of the remainder of BSF's 2016 season . That will also include the Julius Caesar that Chris is directing and the first BSF production of a Shakespeare contemporary, Thomas Dekker's The Shoemaker's Holiday . Whew. That's a lot of stuff. Enjoy that work, enjoy The Winter's Tale , which runs through April 24th, and now enjoy this.…
Holy crap, it's been a while. I'm working on that, but, in the mean time we've got Lauren Juanita Hines , the freshly minted managing director of Adventure Theatre MTC . Lauren and I actually have mutual friends, and it took the genius of one of those friends to make this connection. I have really cool friends. Basically, Lauren is amazing. It was my first chance to talk to someone in the office (and a managing director, no less!) and it was everything I hoped it could be. We recorded the show on the set of James and the Giant Peach , which is lovingly detailed, really excellent work. Lauren and I talked a lot about the business side of theater and we got to talk a bit about opera (if you want more opera talk, don't forget about great friend of the show, Ryan Connelly !). Lauren is working hard at enabling the many excellent things that Adventure Theatre MTC is doing, things like presenting an autism-friendly version of James and the Giant Peach ( which everyone loves ), along with an ASL-interpreted show. They also have an academy, so you can do more than just watch their awesome shows. Check them out. They produce shows in Glen Echo Park , a really interesting little place in Georgetown. Watch out, though. Google Maps doesn't quite realize that the parking lot and the park are separate things (look for Oxford Rd ). Now that you've been warned, you should check them out. I had a blast recording this one, and I hope that you enjoy this fantastic conversation. One small note: there was a big ole fan going on-stage and I had to attempt some audio kung-fu to make this episode sound it's best. I think I mostly succeeded, but if it sounds a bit processed to y'all, you're not crazy.…
So, I know that this podcast is dedicated to the Washington DC/Baltimore megaplex, but I spent a good amount of time outside of that megaplex recently and I was making some theatre to boot. So my point is, I recorded a podcast with someone who works in the Houston area (because that's where I was). I think you'll forgive me because Andy Vance, the lighting supervisor at the newly renovated Alley Theatre is awesome. We had a fantastic conversation about his career, about what it's like to come back to place that is kinda the same, but also quite different, and quite a few ultra nerdy lighting things. I tried to keep that to a minimum. So when we talk about unit numbers on hanging positions, don't let your mind drift too far, we get back on track pretty quickly. I had the pleasure of programming and installing the projection set up for the Alley Theatre's co-production (along with Dallas Theatre Center) of All The Way, a fantastic play that won some hardware. It's really perfect to see that play go up in Texas. But it will also be awesome to see that show in April when previews begin for Arena Stage's production of it (which I am only vaguely affiliated with, in that I will hang and point some lights). But it's going to be good, I'm guessing. Maybe I'll rope some critic or dramaturg or actor in to talk about All the Way, come April. Who knows about the future, right now, all I can do is present to you, the wonderful Andy Vance.…

This episode was such a blast to record. All the way up in the wilds of upstate New York in tiny Cambridge. And absolutely worth every second. Even the terrible play about the dairy farmers. Because I got to see a performance of Danielle Mohlman 's Nexus (more fun here ). You may have heard her before. The production starred Emma Jackson, you've heard her as well, and Jonathan Colby , a Stage Door debut. I hope this play as some life after this, I hope, podcast listeners that we can make that happen. Nexus. It's good stuff and it would be awesome to see on stages in the District. Many kudos to David Snider and Hubbard Hall , who presented it as part of a festival of new work. I am bummed that this episode didn't air in time for you to catch Emma in a staged reading of The Impracticalities of Being a Modern Day Mastodons by Rachel Teagle. But you can at least read a little something about it from Inkwell's blog . Enjoy.…

Who doesn't love a field trip? In this case, I talked to Maureen Monterubio and Nick Vargas , the artistic directors of Field Trip Theatre , owners of an awesome mission statement: No dead white guys. We are talking about new plays, y'all! We talk about Fringe , new plays, and what it takes to make yourselves a brand new theatre company. Field Trip Theatre has a bunch of awesome projects coming to fruition soon. Part of that effort, is raising some cash for the organization. Four seems to be a lucky number for Maureen and Nick, so February 4th marked the beginning of the effort to raise $4,444. If you like what you hear, I hope you will consider helping them out. Look for their latest project, Bigger than You, Bigger than Me in March. They've got a lot going on, so stay in touch. In the mean time, enjoy!…

My first lighting designer! It was a genuine pleasure to spend some time with Mr. Colin K. Bills . Colin had a few things on his mind to guide our conversation and that turned out to be a great idea. We talked about community events and what light itself means to holiday rituals and it all kind of expanded from there. We recorded this episode before Christmas, but there is a timeless quality to what we were rapping about, so don't worry. 'Tis always the season for philosophizing and intellectualizing. And stuff. If you're a stranger to Colin's work, you can check him out at Arena Stage in the near future, where he is designing The Originalist , a play about Antonin Scalia (a play with a pretty easy answer to "Why this play now?"). He's also a Woolly Mammoth company member, so you're never too far from one of his designs if you follow what they do. And he's a conspirator with the dog and pony dc team. You should definitely check out what they are up to, whenever they are up to things. As it happens, they are up to things with people .…

Yet another of the fantastic theater makers that Danielle Mohlma n begged me to get in touch with, Emma Jackson is an actress and recent entrant to the Washington, DC theatre scene . We sat down in the director's booth at Shakespeare Theatre Company (hopefully you saw The Tempest already) and got right down to business. We talk about the Peace Corps, the ins and outs of the Azeri language , the secrets of the rehearsal room, and how excited we both are for the world premiere of Danielle's Nexus to see the light of day at Hubbard Hall in Cambridge, NY (not New York, New York sadly - that is an adventure for another day). Thanks for joining me and fantastic actress Emma Jackson for episode 10! Enjoy.…

It's a New Year's miracle. Or something. Actually, it's much simpler than that. Michael Dove and Forum Theatre have a lot going on. Walking the City of Silence and Stone drops a new episode on January 5th (check that awesome project out, walk Washington, DC in an entirely new way). And the T-Party gets underway TODAY (January 2nd). It's an exciting project that's getting the full business. You should see it. I should see it (damn it, I will SEE IT). Point is, Forum Theatre is happening and it just made sense to get this out in time for y'all to check it all out. Michael and I talk a lot about hip hop and politics and the rehearsal process. It was an absolute blast. Many thanks to Woolly Mammoth for their awesome lobby experience and letting us record there. Without further ado: Michael Dove, who is awesome.…

I have a few friends here and there who work in theatre and are willing to tolerate my cooking and my presence. Fortunately for me, they were also really good sports about letting me stick microphones in their faces. Before the pie was even served on Thanksgiving, for heaven's sake. This is my Christmas present to y'all, this year: a good time with my good friends, Catherine Russell, the Sydney Harman Hall stage carpenter for Shakespeare Theatre Company, and Maria Tejada, an assistant stage manager who also works for STC. It's goofy and I get grilled about what it means to try, and fail, to be a director. So it was loads of fun. A big time caveat: I'm still an idiot about this recording thing and this is all cobbled together from like four different microphones. I think it works, mostly. But you have my sincere apologies for the volume weirdness.…

Catherine Rodriguez, @latinadramaturg on the ole Twitter, was so awesome to squeeze me into her busy schedule. We recorded on the 6th floor of Center Stage , a delightful theater that I've had the privilege of working for (#FullDisclosure). The conversation starts off strong with Christmas movies (Elf, Die Hard, The Court Jester, Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas - not on Netflix, sorry), because Center Stage was about to open It's a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play ( still going ! ) . That brought us to awesomely bad movies, like Troll 2 (and the documentary about it, called Best Worst Movie , you're welcome). But we also talk about theatre outreach, dramaturgy, and the Dramaturgy Open Office Hour Project ( Facebook !), which she will be a major part of in the coming months, so keep an eye out for that. Enjoy, y'all!…

Ok, let's get the bad news out of the way: I made a curious technical choice and I didn't plug in my backup hard drive because . . . because I'm an idiot, let's face it. So, the audio comes from a small digital recorder (which turns out to be pretty quality, thanks to Wirecutter ) rather than my wonderful microphones. Which is to say, there is a crap load of background noise and weird distortion from attempting to minimize that background noise, but it is still all there. Always plug in your backup hard drives, kids. Now for the good. It's Rachel Grossman ! She is one of the ringleaders of dog & pony dc . She's a fantastic person, so enthusiastic and expressive and eloquent and it was a pleasure to hang out with her at Port City Java in Eastern Market and talk over the child in the background. And the espresso machine. Make no mistake, it was a great time. We talk about the National Arts Marketing Project Conference , dog & pony dc, ensemble theatre practice, how to build a career in theatre, and how random music in a café can occasionally reinforce the point being made. Have a listen, thanks for bearing with the suboptimal sound (lesson learned!), and enjoy. Also, it's Peter Brook and it's called The Empty Space , and it's not the only book he wrote . Also, you should just watch the Count get himself bleeped . You're welcome.…
Will and I are old friends, dating back to our days on the stage of a community youth theatre that I hope will one day be famous as a hotbed of creativity and a cultivator of talent: Stewartstown Summer Theatre (a ministry of Stewartstown United Methodist Church ). It was awesome to sit him down and talk about his career and how he found his vocation as an English teacher and high school theater director. Of course, I was there for most of it, but I'm happy to be share it with all of you good people. The next time up, Will and I will have survived a high school production of Mary Poppins (thanks MTI ) where Mary (and hopefully Bert) actually fly (thanks ZFX ). We will be exhausted, punch drunk, and ready to talk about reaching for the stars on a tenth of NASA 's budget. Until then, here's Will Jenkins ( @buddywillj ). Enjoy.…

Folks, I am stoked about this one. Mr. Gwydion Suilebhan is a hard working man but he still finds time to be awesome at Twitter (@GwydionS) and to power through a cold to sit down and have a chat with me. Many of you will be familiar with him and his work. Gwydion is one of the founding members of the Welders , a playwright focused cooperative with a unique vision and production model (they make the organization and then they hand it over to someone else). The Welders are opening Not Enuf Lifetimes like right now at the Atlas Performing Arts Center . Gwydion speaks so highly of the show, and its author, Caleen Sinette Jennings , so please check that production out. Gwydion is also a prime mover behind the New Play Exchange , going live very soon, part of the National New Play Network and its mission to facilitate the production of new work. For this and all the other great things Gwydion is doing check out his website , especially the part where he explains how to say his last name. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it, here you go!…

Hi there! The podcast continues to exist, to my great surprise, but I am so glad that it does because it means that I got to sit down with Liz Maestri (don't forget her Tumblr ). Liz is the author of Somersaulting, Condo Condo Condoland, and Fallbeil, among others, and she is a delight. To top it all off in a moment of (gulp) synergy, we talked on the historic Lansburgh Stage (thanks Shakespeare Theatre Company !), where Liz had her first theatre experience (a little ditty called Macbeth with some fellow named Stacey Keach). We talk about Sophie Scholl (you might also check out this movie ), the unique experience of running shows and how it changes what you think of theatre, and how to deal with the fact that we don't always know what we are doing (get back to us on that one: exitstagedoor@gmail.com )…

Welcome back for Part 2! My time with Patrick was so excellent and there was just one more topic that we had to cover, because once you bring up The Room , you have to keep talking about it (if you are really feeling motivated, check out one of the periodic screenings at the E Street Cinema ). Also, if you like the sound of the folk that Patrick has worked with, check out his timeline for the shout outs and mentions and get connected with those people. Thank you and here is Part 2.

Ladies and gentlemen, the podcast is off to a great start. Episode 1 was wonderful and Patrick Flynn, playwright, filmmaker, and professor keeps it rolling in Episode 2. Patrick is a fantastic conversationalist. We got started and it took a long time before we were forced to stop, so Episode 2 is going to be, wait for it, a two parter (and it is certainly not the last time that we will be chatting with Patrick). This is Part 1, where Patrick talks to me about his Giant Box of Porn, a big hit at the Capital Fringe Festival, what CapFringe is like, whether there is life after Fringe for #GBoP, how much the play has changed since it's debut at the Pinch in November of 2013, and movies, and life as a comedy improv podcaster in LA with Comedy Sportz LA in 2007(!), and movies, and . . . just so much. And that's just Part 1! If you like Mr. Flynn, please check out more of his work at his website, unknownpenguin.com and his YouTube channel . You can find that best of episode right frickin' here .

Welcome to Exit the Stage Door, a series of conversations with the folks working hard to make the DC theatre scene such a great one. It's Episode 1 and with it comes a talk with Danielle Mohlman, author of Dust, and curator of a great Tumblr about books and the joy of reading. You can find out more about Danielle and her work at her own website, daniellemohlman.com . We spend a lot of this time during this episode talking about Dust , the play that Danielle is hard at work dreaming up all over again. Danielle is also one of the founding members of Field Trip Theatre , as well as the former artistic director when Field Trip produced Patrick Flynn 's Giant Box of Porn and Liz Maestri's Fallbeil at Capital Fringe , among other accomplishments. Last, and certainly not least, Danielle was an inaugural member of Playwright's Arena , a new play initiative sponsored by Arena Stage and the American Voices New Play Institute designed to facilitate dialogue between local playwrights and support their growth as artistic voices. And finally, you can catch Danielle's work as part of Pinky Swear's production of Tiny House Plays , which opens on September 27th and runs through October 12 in a bunch of tiny houses in a corner of DC, an experiment conducted by Boneyard Studios . It's a super exciting project and I am so glad that we can promote it a bit ahead of their opening. Go see it . I know I will. I had a lot of fun talking to her, I hope you enjoy listening to her. Welcome to Exit the Stage Door. See you again in two weeks, when I talk with playwright, teacher, and filmmaker, Patrick Flynn. Until then, Danielle Mohlman!…

Hey! The show goes on! For reals! I am bummed that the pace of the shows has slowed waaaay down but, we’ve got a good one for you this month: it’s Shayla Roland! Shayla is the Special Programming Manager at Ford’s Theatre and we spent a lot of time talking about what exactly that means (hint: lots) and a few things she's done, including Ford's events commemorating the 150th anniversary of Lincoln’s assassination, NBD. We also spent some time talking about the cool things that Cultural DC does, including and especially the Source Festival, a fantastic development playground for new plays and making new artistic connections. Shayla is now an assistant producer with the festival, so check that out. Also, if you are at all interested in getting thrown into the whirlwind world of Source Festival , there are many opportunities to get involved . And don't forget about Ford’s Theatre’s production of The Glass Menagerie , which starts previews on January 22nd. The next time I check in with y'all, it'll be from Houston freaking Texas, which is kind of wild. PS Ford's partnered with Google Cultural Institute on a cool thing .…

Welp, the run of play finally went against me and this bi-weekly podcast took a whole month to come up with a new episode. But in the very act of promising to do more episodes on Twitter , I caught the attention of one of my favorite theatre companies in the area: Pinky Swear Productions (also to be found on the New Play Exchange ) who have been producing excellent work since 2009, including Freakshow, Be Here Now, Bondage, Tiny House Plays , The Last Burlesque as well as Cabaret XXX and it's descendants, including an upcoming Christmas specia l ( TICKETS !) As it turned out, co-artistic director Karen Lange (the other is Allyson Harkey) and I had some spare time the day before Thanksgiving (i.e. the day you bake all the pies) and we put it to good use. We talked about what its like to realize that you can produce the theatre you wish you could see, how great it is to connect with audiences and collaborators, Marx's conception of alienation and what that might mean in a digital age (#GermanNerd), selfies and the importance of being seen (thanks Rachel Syme !), and making waffles out of stuffing (just briefly). It was fantastic. One particular idea that we discussed was figuring out a way to establish a co-op theatre space that could accommodate multiple theatre companies and never went dark. Think about how great it would be to work with a cadre of reliable technicians in a well-maintained space that you had an stake in, but didn't have to worry about managing yourself. If you think that's a good idea, let's talk ( erin@dcpcreativellc.com or @ExitStageDoor ).…

Usually, the podcast is a chance to catch up with interesting people and learn about their stories. This time up, we are catching up with interesting people on a production! #NotAReview. Salomé adapted from Oscar Wilde 's play by Yael Farber and directed by Farber as well, is playing from now through November 8 at the Shakespeare Theatre Company 's Lansburgh Theatre. It's a rich show with lots and lots to talk about and when I set the call out on Twitter, I managed to get two fascinating people into STC's conference room (thanks Michael Kahn !) to talk about the show. I was joined by Hannah Hessel-Ratner , STC's Audience Enrichment Manager, freelance dramaturg, and artistic enabler and by Rob Montenegro , writer, playwright, dramaturg and house manager at STC. It was a blast to record this one, to really dig into a fascinating production. I hope I get to do more of these deep dives as the show goes on (recommendations welcome!).…

I hope that you have been listening to High on Film . They have been great friends of the show and they host such a fun discussion on a more or less random movie each week (they choose guests and those guests choose movies, which might as well be random). They have been huge supporters of Exit the Stage Door for a long time now, please, give them a listen . I spent some time in LA and we got a chance to exchange episodes. I made them watch The Five Obstructions (from Lars von Trier ) and they were kind enough to let me stick microphones in their face and talk about theatre and movies and stuff. It was awesome, so please give High on Film a chance and if nothing else, you can enjoy this week's episode!…

Ok, you got me. I'm not into this whole season 2 rhythm yet. This is late. But, better late than . . . Never mind. It's much more important to celebrate this guest on the podcast: Celia Wren ! Celia is a theatre critic freelancing in the Washington D.C. area. Her byline appears in a couple local newspapers, a little rag called the Washington Post , which you may have heard of, for example, and in various publications in Richmond, VA. She was a managing editor for American Theatre magazine as well for many years. It was an absolute delight to talk about a very different part of the theatre experience, one that is more on the reception end of theatre than the production end. But critics are close to dramaturgs in my heart and I hope to have a few more on the show as we go along. A quick note, Celia's column with the Washington Post , the Diaspora column was recently discontinued, which is a bummer, but she remains a regular reviewer and contributor (talking about Synetic's latest , for example), you can find her recent articles here .…

It's finally here: Season 2! Woohoo! I'm celebrating with a little Barbados rum, I highly encourage all of my listeners to celebrate in their own unique ways. Though, what better way is there to celebrate than find out more about an Annalisa Dias based project! This Monday, September 28th, the Women of Welders 2.0 have a featured presentation at the Kennedy Center on the Millenium Stage. It would be awesome if you could attend! If not, check out the facebook page of the DC Coalition for Theatre and Social Justice , founded by Annalisa or keep tabs on what she is doing on her very own website . Season 2!!!!! #LetsDoThis…

I am so excited to wrap up season one of Exit the Stage Door with Danielle Mohlman . There's just a great symmetry to it. It's a shame that we are doing it under the circumstances: Danielle is moving to Seattle, so she can enrich the theatre scene in the Pacific Northwest , among other reasons, and it will be great to keep an eye and an ear out for what she is up to out there. In the meantime, you've got this wonderful conversation, which probably could have gone on for a helluva lot longer. We chat a bit about Birdman Or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance and it's horrible treatment of women. We talk a whole lot about Danielle's collaboration with dog & pony dc's playground piece about privilege, Squares , which I was lucky enough to see that very day, so it was ultra fresh for our conversation together. We had a list of a whole bunch of things to talk about and we did but I didn't keep the list, so I can't remember what else we got up to. I guess you'll just have to listen. But it'll be fun. I promise. No, really. Check it out.…

I've been away, living the jet-setting life of walking hundreds of kilometers and not washing clothes in search of spiritual enlightenment or whatever, and that's a shame really. It's a shame because it deprived y'all of the timely release of a fantastic conversation I had with friend of the podcast, Catherine Rodriguez and Gavin Witt . Catherine is a dramaturgical dynamo whose time as a fellow with Center Stage is rapidly approaching its end and she is always incredible to talk to, especially if you've seen Troll 2 (available now on Amazon Prime, so why haven't you, I mean really?). But don't take my word for it, you can find her at several of the remaining Dramaturgy Open Office Hours happening this summer. You can find the full schedule down below (alright, here ). Catherine also managed to convince Center Stage Associate Artistic Director and Director of Dramaturgy Gavin Witt to join our little chat and it was such a blast. We got to talking about art, dramaturgy, challenging plays, fun, creative programs that Center Stage is a part of (like Write-Right Now - the City Paper write up ) and Toast Bars. Please check those out, I know that I will be doing that, stat. We actually got to rap a bit about Chuck Mee's play, The Glory of the World as well, the mindbender of a piece that Les Waters directed for Humana Festival this year, which was a nice bow on my visit to that festival. There is a Play Lab for Carey Perloff's Waiting for the Flood at Center Stage on Monday, June 29th at 7 PM (of course, there will be a Toast Bar, so please RSVP). And I can't forget those Dramaturgy Open Office Hours ( Facebook and some deets ), which are June 24th with Annalisa Dias at Redline from 4 PM to 7 PM, July 1st (with Gavin!) again at Redline from 4 PM - 7 PM, and July 8th with LaRonika Thomas (the LMDA rep for the region) at Dooby's . Check out Jeremy Stoller's work on #OpenDramaturgy in New York and perhaps how you can be a franchisee as well. Hooray to LMDA for the grant that let's Catherine give her guest an honorium for their awesome time. I will be joining them at some point because Penn Quarter is my DC work home (what up, Sydney Harman Hall !) and you should as well.…

It was a great pleasure to finally meet Lauren Halvorsen, who I should have met years ago. You'll hear all about it in the podcast, don't you worry. Lauren and I talked about a ton of stuff, especially Houston, Pittsburgh, online dating and our digital portraits, what it's like in the Studio Theatre House Manager's office, how to end up in a great career on accident (the best way!) and a bit about the Barbie Grotto. Yeah, it was awesome. Lauren is the Associate Literary Director at Studio Theatre . They have Jumpers for Goalposts running now (extended!) and they just opened Mary-Kate Olsen is in Love . You can catch the next show that Lauren will dramaturg in September, it's called Chimerica (Chai-Merica, like China and America). Also, you and I have homework: reading Americanah . I'm about to get on that (here's a German interview with Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie because I'm a nerd). You can find her Barbie Grotto photos on Instagram and you can find Lauren on Twitter .…

Ok, I cheated just a little bit with this one. Ryan is based out of Cincinnati, OH and the real connection to the Baltimore/Washington scene is through me, EXCEPT, that he spent a season singing with Virginia Opera . It's also possible that you've seen Ryan around at MAGFest , since he makes that trek on the regular. Ryan Connelly is one of my oldest friends and has one of the coolest job titles of all of my friends: Ryan is an opera singer. I hit up two theatre birds with one road trip and checked in with Ryan in Cincy on my way back from Humana Festival in Louisville. We talk about that and a whole lot more (mostly video games and alcohol ). It was an absolute blast to get him talking about the world of opera, a world that I don't have that much experience with. Enjoy! We talk about Tales of Hoffmann by Offenbach in this episode, this particular recording in particular with Roberto Alagna and Natalie Dessay. I think that's the recording. It's hard to tell with You should definitely read ETA Hoffmann's short stories . They are free!…

I am so happy to bring you this episode, y'all. It was recorded the same day as Brittany's, which feels like a lifetime ago, and it was a great way to end a day of podcasting. Jeanette Porter and Alina Gerall were kind enough to host me in a Lansburgh dressing room and ply me with wine. Jeanette Porter is the wardrobe supervisor for Shakespeare Theatre Company and Alina Gerall is like, technically wardrobe overhire, but she works so often at STC it's hard not to think of her as part of STC. This was a total blast and not just because of the wine. Alina and Jeanette are two passionate, experienced, articulate women and they had a lot of thoughts on their careers in theatre, why they love wardrobe so much, and the strange things that reaching into people's underwear for a living can do to you.…

Hey everybody, welcome back. I've been away and back again. But I still managed to sit down with Brittany Diliberto ( PlaidLeaf photography !) to talk about life, lighting, Richmond, Chuck Klosterman thought exercise games and space ballets (indeed, Richmond Ballet in general, plus the Pillars of Creation ). I'm really stuck on that part of Brittany's recent work. Space ballets.…

It went down like this. I needed a place to record a chat between myself and the good people behind Field Trip Theatre , Nick Vargas and Maureen Monterubio . I had directed them to the place I knew the best in downtown Washington, DC: the Sydney Harman Center for the Arts. In the process of securing a room for our recording session, I also secured some time with my former co-worker at STC , Roc Lee , assistant sound supervisor, sound designer, and composer. A few weeks after that Field Trip Theatre convo, I was able to sit down with Roc and talk about music, musicals, and accidentally falling into theatre. It was fantastic.…

It all started because I dissed Carole King on Facebook. Ok, that's not quite accurate. I've been following Elissa Goetschius (@egoetschius) on Twitter almost since I arrived in DC in 2012. She was one of the first people I wanted on the podcast and I am really happy that we could find some time for this conversation (on her birthday no less!). We talk about Sarah Ruhl and meandering career paths and issues of representation for women and people of color in the region's theaters (aka #TheSummit). There was also a cat and a machine for feeding the cat. But mostly, there was the engaging, incisive, excellent Elissa Goetschius.…

After Gwydion Suilebhan (his episode here ) sang her praises, I'd been trying to hammer out a time to sit down with Jojo Ruf, the executive and creative director of the Welders and former associate executive director of the National New Play Network . We managed to make that happen after she had some time to settle in as the new Managing Director of the Laboratory for Global Performance and Politics (I've finally gotten the title down. It's impressive, isn't it?). This was one of those sad times when the software handling the fancy microphones lied to my face and did not record as the blinking red light promised. But the backup came through and we still have this wonderful, and efficient, chat, just with extra background noise (mostly keys from the maintenance folk, lots of keys). Enjoy!…
