American Theatre is proud to be the venue for Theatrical Mustang, an independently produced podcast from actor-writer-activist Woodzick. Each month they bring listeners interviews with unbridled talent and cultural trailblazers from across the country.

This month, Woodzick talks with Erin Rollman and Brian Colonna of Denver-based Buntport Theater about their unique style of collaboration, sustainability in production design, title selection (Kafka on Ice, anyone?), what creative success looks like, and why they have seven overhead projectors and four Teddy Ruxpins in storage. The creatives also discuss former Theatrical Mustang guest Regan Linton’s “comedy about being stuck in a tragedy,” The Menagerist, running March 29 with Buntport. 

Buntport Theater (Erin Rollman, Hannah Duggan, Brian “Byron” Colonna, Erik Edborg, SamAnTha Schmitz) is a collective. They work non-hierarchically and without formalized job titles, collaborating on both artistic and business decisions for the past 25 years. They have created 55 full-length plays and musicals, over 120 episodes of live sitcom episodes, and countless one-off events. Together, they share skills and duties of writing, set-building, performing, costume-making, directing, grant-writing, fundraising, and maintaining the performance space.
