Curtain Call: Looking Back on a Season of Boston Theater, Community, and Discovery

After ten episodes,  about a dozen interviews, and more theater than we ever expected to see, we're wrapping up Season One of Scene in Boston. In this special season finale, hosts Laura Amico and Lisa Talhamer look back on the productions, conversations, and ideas that shaped the first season. From workshop productions and intimate black box theaters to major musicals and ambitious new works, they reflect on what surprised them, what stayed with them, and why live performance feels especially meaningful right now. Along the way, they revisit some of their favorite moments from the season, discuss the themes that emerged across Boston stages, and share a few ideas for what might be coming next.
