Behind the Scenes at Washington DC's Arena Stage

Today’s podcast goes behind the scenes with two members of Arena Stage’s creative team: dramaturg and literary manager Otis Cortez Ramsey-Zöe and casting director Joseph Pinzon. Both share their insights and experiences working on the current revival of  Tony Kushner’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play “Angels in America, Part One: Millennium Approaches.” We’ll learn about the work of a dramaturg and a casting director and how they approached “Angels” a work with such a rich and complex history. We also discuss theater in general, theater in Washington DC in particular, and the challenges this landmark play of the 20th century poses for audiences in the 21st century.
