We talk a lot bout the wonderful actors and actresses who bring characters to life on stage and in the movies. But someone has to write those brilliant words they say. Enter – the playwright. The job of the writer is where theatre really begins – taking an idea and giving it structure. In this episode of It’s Showtime with Rikki Lee, I am thrilled to be joined by award-winning playwright Diane Baia Hale. We’ll be discussing her writing process, as well as some of her superb plays including The Marble Muse about Louisa Lander and Nathaniel Hawthorne – which has gained multiple honors around the country.
