Bart DeLorenzo is the founding artistic director of the Evidence Room theater in Los Angeles where he has directed many local and world premieres including plays by David Greenspan, Naomi Wallace, Martin Crimp, Philip K. Dick, Gordon Dahlquist, Kelly Stuart, David Edgar, Edward Bond, and his own adaptation of Charles Dickens.
Recent productions include the world premieres of Steven Drukman's Death of the Author and Donald Margulies's Coney Island Christmas at the Geffen Playhouse; Carla Ching's Fast Company, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa's Doctor Cerberus, and Donald Margulies's Shipwrecked! An Entertainment at South Coast Repertory; Justin Tanner's Day Drinkers at the Odyssey and the constantly revived Voice Lessons which originated at the Zephyr.
Other recent directing includes Charlayne Woodard's The Night Watcher at Washington's Studio Theatre, Shakespeare's Cymbeline at A Noise Within, Karen Zacarias's Legacy of Light and Mark Brown's Around the World in 80 Days at the Cleveland Play House, King Lear with LA's Antaeus Company, Sarah Ruhl's Dead Man's Cell Phone at South Coast Rep, Michael Sargent's The Projectionist at the Kirk Douglas Theatre CTG, Charles Mee's bobrauschenbergamerica with TheSpyAnts at Inside the Ford, and Caryl Churchill's A Number at the Odyssey.
He is a graduate of Yale University and the American Repertory Theater's Institute for Advanced Theater Training at Harvard. He is on the faculty at CalArts.
For his work, he has received four LA Drama Critics Circle Awards (including this past year's Milton Katselas Award for career achievement), six LA Weekly awards, three Backstage Garlands, and the Alan Schneider Director Award.
"Bart was on my shortlist as a podcast guest before there was a shortlist, before there was a podcast even. He is at the top of his game as a theatrical director right now and is very much in demand at theatres across the country," says host Chuck Clay. "He very much has his finger on the pulse of the theater."
Each episode (available on the first of each month) goes behind the scenes with the leading artists, technicians, and craftspeople on stage and behind the scenes of today's top theaters. This monthly interview program that spotlights the creative talents working in the theatrical industry across the country and around the world, puts the spotlight on folks who don't normally get a chance to shine-house managers, stagehands, dressers, casting directors, agents, producers, writers, actors, electricians, accountants, and more--guests get the chance tell stories about what brought them to the theater and what keeps them coming back time after time. A resource of interest to anyone in the performing arts, Curtain Call Podcast is available for free download from iTunes, Stitcher, and other fine purveyors of podcasts.
