An original founding member of DPT in 2015, Sarah Clare is a Michigan (Ypsilanti) native. After moving about the country to find the best places and ways to create live theater, she was called back home to Detroit (first figuratively, later literally). After training in both theater and voice at Hope College, she transitioned to the administrative end of art-making and received an MFA in arts administration from Wayne State University's Hilberry Theatre program, cutting her professional teeth with Breathe Art Theatre Project (with DPT cofounder Courtney Burkett), Barrington Stage Co., and New York Stage and Film. Sarah Clare acted as Managing Director of Philadelphia's Pig Iron Theatre Co. from 2008-2009 (Isabella, Pay Up!, and the Pig Iron collaboration with NYC's Public Theatre on Suzan-Lori Parks' 365 Days/365 Plays). For 13 years since then, she has worked as Company Manager (3 years) and Managing Director (10 years) of Chautauqua Theatre Co. in Western New York, where she was co-leader through two artistic leadership transitions and was the line producer for the Chautauqua Institution's innovative inter-arts collaborations, The Romeo and Juliet Project, and Go West!, which presented narratives through cohesive experiences of symphonic and vocal music, live theatre, dance, visual art, and literature.At DPT, Sarah Clare initiated the commission of Noah Haidle's Broadway-bound Birthday Candles. She was lead producer on the televised remounts of From Broadway to Obscurity (Eric Gutman) and No Child… (Nilaja Sun), in collaboration with two PBS stations, in Buffalo, NY and Detroit, MI, and with both DPT and Chautauqua Theater Co. She has acted as the lead on DPT's move to a new building, heads up strategic planning for the company, and shares artistic leadership with Sarah, Courtney, and Dominique. Overall, she specializes in creating opportunities for artists on projects close to their hearts and bringing them before audiences who can share in and gain something from their offerings.Mentioned in this episode:Eckhart Tolle The Power of NowCourtney BurkettSarah WinklerDominique MorriseauWe See You W.A.TTCG ConferenceSCADTo submit a question, please visit http://www.speakpipe.com/theatreofothers for voice recording or submit an email to podcast@theatreofothers.com Messages may be quoted by name unless the writer stipulates otherwiseMusic credit: https://www.purple-planet.comAdditional compositions by @jack_burmeisterSupport the show

Welcome to the "THEATRE IS BACK" 3 part series where Tene takes you along with her as she performs in her very first live show back post pandemic! Last week we met the cast and this week we meet Brett Christopher; the Managing Artistic Director of the Thousand Islands Playhouse in Gananoque. It's time to find out who the man is behind some of the first live theatre to return to the Canadian stage! From going to theatre school at 26 to becoming an artistic director to keeping theatre alive during a pandemic; we cover it all! Brett is a problem solver so he was definitely thrown when it came to covid and he unpacks exactly how he handled it. The stand out aspect of this interview is how he turned the theatre's focus from making plays to espousing values and making an impact in the community. Brett also puts Tene on the spot a couple of times to discuss imposter syndrome and some of the bullsh*t insecurity that comes along with being an actor in this industry.

Alan and Zoob speak of many things - of fools and kings - with owner and Managing Artistic Director of the Arcade Comedy Theater, Abby Fudor! We talk having a newborn in a new world, keeping theaters afloat with the arts district closed, and why Pittsburgh's most overrated food is actually...a drink?
When you have a business, you usually have some sort of a business plan. Even if you don't run endless spreadsheets, you have goals, and an idea of how things will look if everything goes right. And, though you might be a bit more reluctant to think about it, you generally have an idea of what things might look like if you hit a lean period. But, no matter how carefully you plan for every eventuality, for our two guests on Out to Lunch today there was nothing in the playbook to turn to when events conspired against them in the first Quarter of 2020. When we first talked to these guys about appearing on Out to Lunch, we had a very different show planned. They both had their own very different shows planned too. Scott Feehan is Executive Director of Festival International. If you live in Acadiana, you're already wincing in sympathy. And wondering, “What's going to happen to Festival in 2021?” If you don't know anything about Festival International, it's a gigantic, sprawling and fabulous, free, street festival that takes place in downtown Lafayette every year in April. It's the biggest international music and arts festival in the U.S. The Other Show Are you wondering what could be equally as difficult as being responsible for staging an outdoor street festival during a global pandemic? How about running a theater company? That's what Steven Landry does. Steven is Managing Artistic Director of Acadiana Repertory Theater. Acadiana Repertory Theater, or ART, is one a of a rare breed of theater companies that specializes in premiering new plays. If you're one of the 73,000 playwrights on planet earth, it's tough getting your work performed on any stage, anywhere. That's why ART gets to select their annual season of 3 or 4 shows from over 1,400 submissions. Photos by Jill Lafleur. Check out Scott's appearance on Out to Lunch in happier days for Festival, and all of us. But, hey good times are around the corner, the show must go on, and somehow we'll be live in 2021!

Last week, we had the privilege of bringing four formidable theatre making women together for the Monthly Artists Roundtable hosted by Julie Nemitz. This dynamic panel of women theatre-makers and thought-leaders as they discuss how changing times are affecting their perspectives, decisions and opportunities. These prolific women will discuss where they are finding their internal call-to-action during these tumultuous times, what roadblocks they still see for women in the theatre industry. We also discussed ways we keep our passion for theatre alive and how we envision continuing the fight for equality in the theatre industry. Guests: Quiana Clark-Roland (Executive Director, American Association of Community Theatre), Natasha Parnian (Founder and Managing Artistic Director, Dark Horse Theatre Company), Sara Phoenix (Artistic Director, Theatre Tulsa) and Ina Marlowe (Award-winning Director, Distinguished Alumni Goodman School of Drama) and boy I can't wait for you to hear what Ina has to say.

When you have a business, you usually have some sort of a business plan. Even if you don't run endless spreadsheets, you have goals, and an idea of how things will look if everything goes right. And, though you might be a bit more reluctant to think about it, you generally have an idea of what things might look like if you hit a lean period. But, no matter how carefully you plan for every eventuality, for our two guests on Out to Lunch today there was nothing in the playbook to turn to when events conspired against them in the first Quarter of 2020. When we first talked to them about appearing on Out to Lunch, we had a very different show planned. For April 2020. They both had very different shows planned for April 2020 too. Scott Feehan is Executive Director of Festival International. If you live in Acadiana, you're already wincing in sympathy. And wondering, “What's going to happen to Festival in 2021?” If you don't know anything about Festival International, it's a gigantic, sprawling and fabulous, free, street festival that takes in downtown Lafayette every year in April. It's the biggest international music and arts festival in the U.S. The Other Show Are you wondering what could be equally as difficult as being responsible for staging an outdoor street festival during a global pandemic? How about running a theater company? That's what Steven Landry does. Steven is Managing Artistic Director of Acadiana Repertory Theater. Acadiana Repertory Theater, or ART, is one a of a rare breed of theater companies that specializes in premiering new plays. If you're one of the 73,000 playwrights on planet earth, it's tough getting your work performed on any stage, anywhere. That's why ART gets to select their annual season of 3 or 4 shows from over 1,400 submissions. You can find photos from this show by Jill Lafleur at our website. Check out Scott's appearance on Out to Lunch in happier days for Festival, and all of us. But, hey good times are around the corner and the show must go on!

As Out to Lunch prepares to go back to hosting live lunches, for inspiration we're taking a look at some of our pre-Covid shows. Here's an Out to Lunch Best of: Baton Rouge Performing Arts. Imagine that you're the most beautiful person in the world. And you happen to have a sister, who is even more beautiful than you! If you didn't happen to be compared to your sister all the time, you'd be a really big deal. That's kind of how it is with the Baton Rouge performing arts. Baton Rouge is unfortunate in its proximity to its older sister, New Orleans. But there are actually a number of extraordinarily talented people in the Baton Rouge performing arts world. For example, Jamie Ray. Jamie Ray is owner of Air Seekers Acrobatic Movement, a professional acrobatic company that focuses on cirque-style and physical theater performances. Jamie is a professional movement artist and instructor whose work is informed by her background in aerial dance, theater, and partner acrobatics. Vastine Stabler is Managing Artistic Director of Swine Palace, a non-profit, professional theater company supporting the educational mission of the LSU Department of Theater. Since its founding in 1992, Swine Palace has produced more than 68 productions, including many regional and world premiers that have advanced the company's mission to produce plays of social relevance. Vastine has been in his current role at Swine Palace since the spring of 2018, previously serving as the theater's director of marketing and communications from 2005-2010. Out to Lunch Baton Rouge is recorded live over lunch at Mansurs on the Boulevard. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
