Offscript is a podcast occasionally produced by the editors of American Theatre.
This special edition features a conversation recorded at New York City’s Signature Theatre on March 18, “The State of the Play,” one of a series of live events co-presented by American Theatre and the Signature (the first, on best practices for diversifying theatre, is here). Special guests Leigh Silverman, Lucas Hnath, Robert O’Hara, and Alexis Williamsjoin Signature literary manager Jenna Clark Embrey for a lively and free-ranging talk about trends in new American playwriting, play producing, and playgoing. And the Q&A with the assembled audience is as rich as the dialogue among the artists onstage.
