🚨New Working in the Theatre Episode!🚨 "The fragility that is present in circus... you could always just not be caught, fall off the wire, fall on your face...It is the ultimate in high stakes," says Jessica Stone, director of Water for Elephants. These intense risks, combined with intricate storytelling through acrobatics and choreography, are what make Water For Elephants soar. From the initial concept to the intricate rigging on Broadway, Stone, along with circus designer and choreographer Shana Carroll and choreographer Jesse Robb, delve into their intricate collaboration—turning the impossible into reality through breathtaking artistry.

The partnership and trust between a playwright and a director are vital for the success of a play, but this is especially unique when they’re tied as friends and colleagues for years. The story of the Broadway production of Appropriate Play might just be one of those great collaboration tales in the history of theatre! And thus, writer Branden Jacobs-Jenkins and director Lila Neugebauer share their story on this remarkable play in our NEWEST episode of #WorkingInTheTheatre now on our YouTube Channel. ⬇️
