Chicago's City Lit Theater presents the world premiere of Kingsley Day's and James Grossman's Scaramouche: The Swashbuckling Musical! and City Lit's executive artistic director Brian Pastor and the show's director Beth Wolf discuss how this ambitious musical came to be. Brian and Beth reveal the secrets to being a good producer (spoiler: it’s creative problem solving) and directing new works; leaning into a show's style and heightened language; balancing a season both artistically and financially; the value of ambition and the power of intimate spaces; getting the word out; and how audiences must recognize their own responsibility to BYOF (Bring Your Own Fandango).
