The Theatre Long Game
from Local with Laura Ekstrand
Welcome back to a new season of Local with Laura Ekstrand! Laura and Dave Maulbeck kick off Season 7 with a wide-ranging conversation about the experience of making theater locally and the people you meet along the way, from those who pass through our creative lives to the collaborators who stick around for decades. They look back at the growth of improv as a part of Vivid's identity, and the unique experience of making art with the same collaborators long enough to age up together. Laura previews Vivid Stage's upcoming production of B.I.N.G.O. (or Brittney Isle's Nice Geriatric Orgy) by Erin Mallon, a funny and sexy new play about relationships, aging, and life in a 55+ community, as well as some of the new works and playwrights featured throughout the upcoming season. Plus: improv jams, new-play development, community events, civic engagement through theater, the New Jersey Theatre Alliance, and Vivid's work bringing the performing arts into healthcare spaces. Local with Laura Ekstrand goes behind the scenes at Vivid Stage, covering mainstage productions, improv, cabarets, new plays, special events, and everything else that happens in and around a professional local theater.
