American Theatre Offscript

We say goodbye to a longtime magazine staffer, and talk seasons and musicals.

The L.A. 99-Seat Theatre wars get a full airing with special guest Isaac Butler, and the editors have some recommendations.

This week's guest is Native American playwright and actress Larissa Fasthorse, who discusses her new play 'Landless' from Alter Theater, and how to be a playwright without an MFA.

A critic's round table on David Lindsay-Abaire's oft-performed 'Good People,' as well as chat about Sean Graney, diversity and Taylor Mac.

Senior editor Eliza Bent talks to theatre critics Helen Shaw and Alexis Soloski about the experimental theatre festivals currently happening in New York City, what they loved and why you should go see some weird theatre right now!

It's the New Year's Eve edition of Offscript! We look at the big theatre headlines of 2014, as well as the shows that we loved.

It's the Grinch edition of Offscript! This week, our editors talk about holiday shows and the people who watch them (hint: it's not us). Plus, Suzy interviews 10-year-old Chicago theatre critic Ada Grey (a.k.a. the smartest 10-year-old you will ever meet).

This week, Offscript hosts a critic's panel on Joshua Harmon's play 'Bad Jews.' Plus, the editors discuss artists' compensation and when you should work for free.

This week's guest is TCG board president Diane Rodriguez, who discusses the recent TCG board meetings, the Latino theatre movement and the L.A. 99-seat plan. Plus, the editors preview our December issues, out this week.

It's the all-Public-Theater edition of Offscript! Senior editor Eliza Bent joins us to discuss Young Jean Lee's newest show "Straight White Men" at the Public Theater. Then Suzy, Rob and Eliza sound off on "Fortress of Solitude," also at the Public, and why some musical conventions work sometimes but not others. (We promise next edition of Offscript will be a little less NY-centric.)
