Every other week, the editors of American Theatre curate a free-ranging discussion about the lively arts.

This week, American Theatre travels! Senior editor Rob Weinert-Kendt goes to Arizona for vacation (and a little bit of work). He sits down with Tracy Liz Miller and Brenda Jean Foley of the Bridge Initiative, which aims to work toward gender parity in Arizona theatre.

Plus, Rob talks with editors Suzy and Diep about even more season announcements (this time at Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Atlantic Theatre Company and Actors’ Express) and the April 2015 issue of American Theatre. This week’s recommendations: The Heidi Chronicles on Broadway, The World of Extreme Happiness and the Maxamoo podcast about that play, and TCG’s Audience Revolution essay series.
