Show notes

The devastation wrought by the covid-19 pandemic has left us all questioning what we should be working towards as we pick up the pieces and try to build a theatre that reflects our changed world, One possible model comes from the past: the Federal Theatre Project, which for a few years in the 1930s offered a national theatre that brought performances to every corner of the country. How might we revive some of the spirit and substance of that project? To answer that question, we're joined by Dr. Elizabeth A. Osborne of Florida State University and Corinna Schulenburg, director of communications at the Theatre Communications Group.
