Send us Fan MailSeason 4 opens with a conversation between Rich and Cynthia Rider, Managing Director of Hartford Stage. Cynthia has spent decades leading theaters across the country, from the Oregon Shakespeare Festival to Kansas City Repertory Theatre, and now here in Hartford. She talks about what it means to lead with purpose in an industry that was deeply affected by COVID, when theaters had to find new ways to connect with audiences and keep going without live performances. Cynthia also shares why supporting local arts is so important, not just as entertainment, but as a vital part of community life. From balancing creative vision with financial realities to creating spaces where stories can inspire and last, her perspective shows why the arts matter now more than ever.Thanks for listening!
