Tune In To SF Magic Theatre's Playwright Podcasts

SAN FRANCISCO, CA — Who better to dramatically expound upon their shelter-in-place feelings and experiences than playwrights? If you are a fan of the stage and need an interesting diversion during the current quarantine, check out the podcasts assembled by the Magic Theatre in San Francisco.

Magic Theatre's new series, Far Apart Art, a four-week project launched at the end of March, features brief, audio journals from a host of Magic's family of playwrights.

"In lieu of coming together physically as a community,” said Loretta Greco, the theatre's artistic director, “I thought we might put together a series of short, audio narratives to offer some connectivity, solidarity and joy to our audiences in a kind of old-school way, by leaning in and listening to what Magic's playwrights are discovering about staying healthy and creative during this special period of sheltering in place.

"Twenty-one of our writers generously offered to contribute to our Far Apart Art series. I hope their candid reflections help everyone to feel a little less alone until we can come together again. Enjoy."

The podcasts are available here.

Far Apart Art participants include: Penelope Skinner; Joshua Harmon; Polly Pen; Sharr White; Barbara Hammond; Victor Lodato; Luis Alfaro; Sean San José; Stephen Belber; John Kolvenbach; Nassim Soleimanpour; Claire Chafee; Miranda Rose Hall; Nilo Cruz; Octavio Solis; Ashlin Halfnight; Paula Vogel; Lloyd Suh; Ricardo Pérez González; Mfoniso Udofia; and Liz Duffy Adams. Far Apart Art producers are Sean Dunnington, Hannah Meyer and Hunter Nelson.
