This theatre interview show brings together performers, directors, playwrights, designers, choreographers, producers and
behind-the-scenes personnel from the American and international theatre, the interviews offer a rare opportunity for students and
audiences to see and hear the people who create theatre engaged in thoughtful conversation with one another.
With more than 600 past guests, the interviews have become an unequalled archive of theatrical talk, a chance to hear from the people
behind the characters, stories and productions that draw us to the theatre.
The American Theatre Wing's Working in the Theatre receives leadership support from
The Annenberg Foundation
