Episode 2: Who Picks the Shows?
The challenges of selecting a season from among all the plays every published.
How do you get a group of passionate, opinionated theater fans to agree on a few specific shows to produce for a given season?
Join us as we discuss how the Wimberley Players craft their season, how show selection differs across the spectrum from amateur to professional companies, and the myriad considerations - both practical and philosophical - in how to use the limited resource that is “stage time.”
Our guest is Trish Rigdon (Artistic Director of the Wimberley Players), an arts administrator who’s worked with performing arts organizations from local community theaters to nationally renowned professional organizations like the Peter Hall Company in England.
