In Season Two, Episode 6 of Thank You Five, I sit down with Bill Kirby, resident creative and technical director at the Blue Barn. Bill shares his rich background, from his origins in England and Pennsylvania, to his extensive education and career in theater. We discuss Bill’s Quaker upbringing, his early passion for theater and sound design, and his educational journey at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. Bill highlights his experiences working at venues like McCarter Theater Center and his eventual move to Omaha to join the Blue Barn Theatre. The conversation delves into his process for sound design, memorable productions, including 'Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike', and the challenges and innovations in theater technology over the years.
