YOUR PROGRAM IS YOUR TICKET Podcast Interviews Adjusted Realists, Two Headed Rep and More
By: BWW News Desk Nov. 21, 2017
Award-winning playwright Sean Chandler created Your Program Is Your Ticket in February 2017. The podcast offers a rare glimpse into the world of theatre from the people who create it.
Current interviews include new theatre interviews with New York theatre companies Adjusted Realists, EPIC Players Inclusion Company, Two Headed Rep and Theatre 98 in Alabama.
Playwright Sean Chandler, the writer (co-written with David Leeper) of last year's FringeNYC hit At The Flash discusses what inspired him to create the podcast, saying "Throughout the process of touring with the production, I met many wonderful people who work in theater who I felt merited a voice to discuss their views on the production of theater at the local, regional, off-Broadway and off-off-Broadway level. I thought it would be wonderful to interview these artists and theatrical professionals to give them that voice, while at the same time still discussing larger theater productions, covering off on all levels and occupations of the theater."
All podcasts are available for free at iTunes and on Soundcloud.
