Maxamoo Releases Special Podcast Interview with Playwrght Mac Rogers
By: Maxamoo Jun. 03, 2016
Mac Rogers is a wizard at translating sci-fi, a genre most commonly associated with comic books and movies, to the stage. His plays include The Honeycomb Trilogy, Viral, and the forthcoming Universal Robots, produced by Gideon Productions at the Sheen Center, June 3rd through the 26th. Tickets are only $25! Mac is also well-known as the writer behind the sci-fi serial podcast The Message, a joint venture by Panoply and GE.
On today's Maxamoo Theater and Performance Podcast Lindsay chats with Mac about the genesis of Universal Robots (it's inspired by and reasonably described as a sequel to R.U.R., a science fiction play from the 1920s by Czech writer Karel Capek), the travails of starting a theater company New York City, writing sponsored content, and his role as a grandfatherly figure in indie theater.

About Maxamoo
On Maxamoo's New York City Theater Podcast we cut through that chaos and just tell you: what's good, what's bad, and what we recommend.
We base our recommendations on the quality and characteristics of the production, not theater size. So the terms Broadway, Off Broadway, and Off Off Broadway (which are all technical terms describing the location and number of seats in a theater) are not important to us.
We strive to include diverse, interesting, and innovative productions, shows you're probably missing if you rely on mainstream publications like the New York Times, The New Yorker, and Time Out New York, which cover only a tiny fraction of the arts, culture, and theater world.
The best way to stay up-to-date about New York City theater is to subscribe to our podcast on iTunes or Stitcher. Maxamoo covers New York City theater through our podcast programing, including roundtable discussions on Maxamoo's New York City Theater Podcast and artist interviews on the Playwrights & Performers Podcast.
