Theatre can take you places, and they as real in that moment as anywhere.
My guests today are all involved the Notable Acts Theatre Festival. Len Falkenstein is a well known figure in local theatre, and a founder of this festival, as well as acting and directing in this year’s productions. Beth Graham is the Playwright-in-Residence and Dramaturg for this year, as well as presenting a reading of her new play Amber Hope Porter. Beatrix Culligan is a performer in the site-specific play For Whom The Troll Tolls. Brandon Hicks is the playwright of the 10-minute plays Don’t Shoot Your Mother and Sinking.
They join me to talk about creativity within constraints, advice to playwrights, and their love of the medium.
