ABOUT THIS EPISODE
This week's guest is Nathan Yungerberg. For more than 14 years he called himself a playwright. He had many residencies writing for prestigious theater companies like the Black Theater of Harlem and the Cherry Lane Theater. However, he describes the experience of writing for the American theater as traumatic because there are so few opportunities for new plays to be produced.
But the day he decided to call himself a Storyteller, everything changed!
He moved into different genres. He’s now writing episodes for a podcast epic drama based on Greek myths and aimed at young teenagers. He’s also a writer on Sesame Street. He admits that his plays were the springboard for this satisfying new work so it’s part of a long process.
