Description

A comedy podcast that helps answer the question “what is this play about?” … Plays are meant to be seen not read, but before an audience sees a production all the artists involved need to read the text and come to a unified interpretation of it. This show examines that process – we will read plays and look at them through the lens of different text analysis techniques, talk about the potential stories that could be told using that play, and go behind the scenes of the artistic process. This podcast is for anyone who wants to know more about the important plays of our time and the analytic techniques that can be used to understand them more deeply and for anyone who loves theater and would like to know more about the artistic process.
