Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival

Jason King Jones, artistic director of the Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival, shares details about PSF's current season, their plans to host the 2027 Shakespeare Theatre Association conference, and how he's retained his ability to laugh and his capacity for joy. Jason shares how he threads the needle of programming work that reaches his diverse audience; how the entire western canon of theatrical literature is descended from Shakespeare; how theatre is important to the health of the community; the virtues of hosting a really great party; how Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley is "Fest Central;" fantastic advice from playwright Ken Ludwig; and how Shakespeare is every modern playwright’s great-great-great-great-grandfather.
