Greetings, Go See a Show! fans!
Just a note that there won’t be a new episode of the podcast this week, because I’m in tech for a show I’m directing that opens on Friday.
If you’re curious, check out Co-Op Theatre East‘s website for more information on Muzungu — and if you can make it to the show, please say hi when you’re there!
Go See a Show! is proud to present an interview with Maximilian Clark, the man behind Altruistic Theatre Company‘s unique “no-holds-barred” Bareknuckle Theatre Festival.
It’s kind of like the thunderdome — five plays enter, one play wins 50% of the door. Listen to this week’s episode to learn more about this unique (and fun) festival, about the work of Altruistic, and what to do if the cops start knocking on the doors during your performance… Continue reading

This week, Go See a Show! interviews the Artistic Director of The Cohort, Jason Tyne-Zimmerman.
Jason & The Cohort are producing the Exquisite Corpse Festival next month at the Richmond Shepard Theatre, and it sounds like an event not-to-be-missed—an evening of theatre, film, performance, tattoos, and taxidermy (!) done a la the surrealist game of the exquisite corpse.
What exactly does that mean? Take a listen to hear Jason explain! Continue reading

This week, Go See a Show! travels from downtown to midtown for an interview with the fabulous Jenn Boehm, co-Artistic Director and Managing Director of the wonderful Looking Glass Theatre.
Listen in as Jenn and I talk about running an off-off-Broadway space, building a community of artists, and “flexing the creative muscles,” and hear a couple audio clips from the Looking Glass Summer Intern Showcase performing Lonergan and Chekhov.
After two weeks of conversations with (fabulous) playwrights, his week’s episode of Go See a Show! features two (wonderful) actors — Megan Lee & Kevin Paul Smith, company members of Perchance to Dream Theatre.
It’s also the first episode to be done via Skype, so please forgive the sub-par audio quality!
In addition to treading the boards, Megan & Kevin are producing an event for Perchance to Dream: This Isn’t Bloody Shakespeare, at The Delancey in Manhattan on September 18, 2011.
Listen in to the podcast to hear more about what Perchance to Dream is all about, and about what promises to be a great event on the 18th! Continue reading

This week’s episode of Go See a Show! features an interview with a woman who was introduced to me by a mutual friend as “not only a fantastic woman but one of my favourite playwrights” — Christie Perfetti.
After seeing her play No Fault: A Tale About the Big D in the Big Apple at The Kraine Theater in the New York International Fringe Festival, I can understand my friend’s enthusiasm.
Listen in as Christie and I discuss the resonance of a very personal play with audience members, how to make a play go from script to performances in a 99-seat theater in just three months, and what it means to be in “the middle.”
…GSAS! has been some experiencing some technical difficulties today, but rest assured — the second episode of the podcast should be up tomorrow, Wednesday, August 24!
We don’t yet have a logo, and we’re just on a simple WordPress template — but we’ve got a podcast! And it’s a great introduction to what Go See a Show! is all about, if I do say so myself.
Listen to an interview with playwright Mariah MacCarthy, recorded immediately after opening night of her new play Ampersand: A Romeo & Juliet Story in the New York International Fringe Festival.
