Upstage Left | Intimate Conversations with New York Theater

Dec. 23, 2021

ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Rachel chats with the dramaturg behind the newsletter, Nothing For the Group, Lauren Halvorsen. Before starting the weekly missive offering theater round-ups, reviews, and takes, Lauren was the associate literary manager at Studio Theatre in DC. Prior to that she worked at the Alley in Houston and the City Theatre in Pittsburgh.

These two nerd out on the current state of theater and what might be coming up next in the 2022-2023 season. Lauren talks about how no longer working in the industry has landed her in the perfect position to be a voice that speaks to the inequities and hypocrisies within our institutions. Tune in to hear her clear-eyed perspective now that she longer drinks the kool-aid.

You can subscribe to Nothing for Group HERE - it's free! Wishing you a happy & safe holiday season. Congratulations! You made it through 2021. We will see you in the new year.
