While the Applause is Paused: Conversations with Regional Theatre Makers
With the help of incredible leaders in regional markets all over the country, I’m creating a conversation that addresses: in pandemic times, what's challenging and constricting or exciting and wondrous at our beloved regional theaters?
Join us around this conversation campfire.
Show notes and transcripts available here!
Turning the spotlight on the essential role of regional theaters all over the country, each conversation might:
Create a conversation time capsule of crazy 2020 and share ideas for safe re-opening of theaters.
Consider ways that theaters may align their practices to reflect the theater community’s higher values, including inclusivity, accessibility, and anti-racism
Examine how unique geography, community, or traditions impact a theater's decisions.
Why me? Why this podcast?
My passion for the inner workings of theaters comes of course from being an actor and singer. It also comes from my former career as a lawyer, where I had some nonprofit clients. After leaving the practice of law, I held management positions at several theaters, including Marketing and Development Coordinator at Target Margin Theater and Managing Director at B-Side Productions, both in NYC.
My education includes a BA from Harvard, a JD from Cornell Law, and a Certificate in Fundraising from NYU.
I have great respect for the hard work and resourcefulness it takes for a nonprofit theater company to thrive and never has it been more challenging—or potentially transformative—than now. With this podcast, I aim to hold space for these inspiring houses of creativity.
