Lacey chats with Dina Janis, Artistic Director of the Dorset Theatre Festival in Dorset, VT. Dina has led the Festival for the past 11 years, turning it into a powerhouse of new works development for diverse voices.

Take a listen to why Breaking Bad is proof that regional audiences are ready for more than we used to think they were. Hear about Dina's preference for audio plays over Zoom theatre. Get curious about Dina's reaction to the social justice protests and why it matters in Vermont, the second whitest state in the union.
