Offscript is American Theatre’s flagship podcast, available wherever you get your podcasts (including Spotify and Apple Podcasts), in which the magazine’s editors, writers, and special guests tell us what they’re up to and what’s on their mind.

This month, digital editor Gabriela Furtado Coutinho talks to playwright Nilo Cruz about Tres Veces Cruz, a new evening of three short plays by Cruz set against the backdrop of Afghanistan, now at Miami’s Westchester Cultural Arts Center, in a co-production of ARCA Images, Miami-Dade County Auditorium, and the Roxy Theater. Cruz talks about finding beauty in Beckett’s bleakness, about multilingual staging, and about what he learned from María Irene Fornés.

Then editor-in-chief Rob Weinert-Kendt talks to Ashley Lee, staff reporter at the Los Angeles Times, where she covers theatre both locally and nationally—and infuses a theatre sensibility into all her coverage.
