#21 Scott Lehrer
from in 1: the podcast Hosted by Cory Pattak
The theatrical design community has spent the past two weeks all abuzz over the recently announced decision by the American Theatre Wing to eliminate the TONY awards for Sound Design. On this week's show we discuss that decision as well as the art and craft of Sound Design with the very first recipient of the TONY award for Sound Design of a Musical, Scott Lehrer. Scott discusses the importance and impact of being bestowed that honor and his reaction to the Wing's recent announcement. Cory and Scott chat about creating intimate moments in "South Pacific" at the cavernous Vivian Beaumont theatre, and the role of sound in theatre from amplification, to aural landscapes, to musical mixing and the paradoxical nature of trying to recognize an art form that by it's very nature, often strives for transparency. The podcast is back with a timely and opinionated episode. Enjoy!
