Stage manager/production director/actor. We talk about the life of a production assistant (she was Production Director of the Ithaca Fringe Festival and now works for the Public Theatre). She's one of the people who does what it takes to make putting on a show--in her case, show after show after show--possible.

Playwright/Director/Actor/Teacher. Camilla Schade is one of those people who was born to do theatre. She writes, performs, directs, teaches, and is one of the loveliest persons on the planet. We talk about her new show, "Bones", coping with cancer and using the experience for creative purposes, and being able to out-fart a high school class.

Dramaturg. This month we reach clear around the world to beautiful Melbourne and delve deep into all things dramaturgical with dramaturg Mark Pritchard. Before we ever get to see the curtain rise, there's so much work that goes into the text.

Playwright/Solo performer. Having one play take you around the world for four years is pretty neat. Michael Burgos' hit play, "The Eulogy" has done just that.

Playwright/actor. We talk about whether cisgender playwrights can or should include transgender characters in their work and, if so, how to do so and do justice to the trans community?

Documentary theatre producers. Life Jacket Theatre's Travis Russ and Anthony Dvarskas talk about creating and producing documentary theatre and their last production, "America Is Hard To See," about a rural American community for sex offenders buried deep in Florida's sugarcane fields.

Fight choreographer/trainer. We talk with fight trainer/choreographer Jamie MacPherson and find out all about working with young theatre artists, especially in today's apprehensive world when it comes to confrontational physical training. It's a lot more work than you might think. (Or maybe you might.)
