CenterStage is a podcast for those interested in how the mind of an artist works. We sit down with actors, directors, writers, and artists of all kinds to figure out just what gets their creative juices flowing.Hosted and produced by Sergio De La Espriella, CenterStage is intended for artists to speak freely about whatever comes to mind. We explore different creative techniques, how personal experiences affect art, and even tackles some heavier topics, such as race and gender equality within the theatre.
