A new podcast interviewing professionals in the theater industry about themselves, their careers, and the people they've worked with along the way.
Today, I’m thrilled to announce my episode with Broadway director Sarna Lapine, whose show CALL ME IZZY is currently playing on Broadway. Tune in to hear some of the stories of her legendary career, including working as an assistant director to Bartlett Sher, helping to cast the revival of AWAKE AND SING, how the Obama presidency aligned with the story of SOUTH PACIFIC, how her path to theater mirrored her uncle James Lapine, how the tour of WAR HORSE helped her find her own path as a director, why she doesn’t like using projections, the challenges of adapting Almodovar in WOMEN ON THE VERGE OF A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN, collaborating with Kate Hamill on LITTLE WOMEN and DRACULA, the work ethic of making theater in Japan, how she came to direct the Broadway revival of SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE, importing technology from Germany to create the chromolumes, using her filmmaking experience for SONDHEIM ON SONDHEIM, the joys of collaborating with Jean Smart, and so much more. Don’t miss this expansive conversation with one of Broadway’s best directors.
