Patrick Lord is a projection and media designer in the Washington DC area and we got to talk about all things projection related, how the discipline is still a bit of a Wild West, which is both a good and a bad thing, how we see our discipline, and what we are doing to grow the capacity for projection/media in DC, among many other things.

I dig into the musical side of the Washington DC 2018/2019 with trusted source Patrick Flynn. We cover the gamut, from Anything Goes to Twisted Melodies to the many musicals of Olney Theatre and Signature. I learn a lot. And Patrick is aghast at just how much I have to learn.

I had the great fortune to spend an hour and a half in a study room of the Shaw library with friend of the show Lauren Halvorsen and Linda Lombardi to have a free ranging discussion on life at Studio Theatre, life as a freelance dramaturg, the challenges of audience and community engagement, and a survey of the plays that are being put on by Washington area storefront and regional theaters.

A chat with Kristen Jackson, Laurenellen McCann, and Kirsten Bowen about how Woolly Mammoth is connecting audiences to The Arsonists before, during, after, and all around the production.

Rachael Murray is one of the founding members of Naked Theatre (along with Jared Murray and Cory Cunningham) and a co-director of the devised ensemble piece Clickb@it as part of CapFringe. We talk about creative commons and how to make theater with people invested in the process and not just the product, why to organize an LLC and the difficulty of building a theater company from a new idea from scratch

I sat down with the director, producer, star, and playwright of The Nasty Women, a transformation of Eurpides The Bacchae to these modern times, one of the many shows part of this years Capitol Fringe Festival

Thanks to some Twitter magic, I got a chance to sit down with the creative minds behind Poe, Times Two, a one man adaptation of "The Cask of Amontillado" and "The Black Cat," author and star, Greg Oliver Bodine and his long-time director DeLisa White.

I got a chance to sit to down with Helen after her allotment of tech time at the Atlas Performing Arts Center and it was really wonderful, we talked about Creativity, Inc, the Shrewsical, and just all kinds of things about forging a path for yourself creatively.

I got a chance to give Kate Robards a high tech phone call and she was gracious and charming enough to talk about theatre life, class, Studio Theatre, who awesome the DC theatre scene is and whole bunch of other things.

I sat down with Emily in her European inspired apartment (seriously cool appliances) and talked about the origins of her play and all the steps between just getting it written to having a director and putting on a show and stuff!
