André Bishop (#178) - November, 2007
from ATW - Downstage Center Hosted by American Theatre Wing and XM Satellite Radio
During his time as artistic director of Lincoln Center Theater, Andre; Bishop has received multiple Tony Awards for the organization, including for 1994’s Carousel, 2000’s Contact, the 2008 revival of South Pacific. He talks about the selection of Cymbeline and South Pacific for the current season and the thread that unifies the work on the company's two stages; explains why its unlikely we'll see certain types of plays in their Lincoln Center complex; recalls his start in theatre and the ragtag early days of Playwrights Horizons, which he led for more than a decade; considers why he's perhaps less of a public figure than many artistic directors; and muses on why he's starting to feel like King Lear.
