The Subtext is a monthly podcast focused primarily on playwrights, their process, and their journeys through the American theatre. On the surface The Subtext is an interview podcast. But if you give a few episodes a listen, you'll see it is about a playwright investigating what it means to be a playwright, and how one cultivates a "career" in the American Theatre.
The Subtext is presented by American Theatre magazine, a publication of Theatre Communications Group. New episodes are released monthly. KJ Jarboe is The Subtext’s invaluable Associate Producer.

The Subtext was originally conceived by me and Dani Oliver and began as a program of LA Stage Alliance, a performing arts service organization in Los Angeles. The podcast ran for 2 years through LA Stage Alliance, until the summer of 2017 when I moved from LA to Chicago. I spoke to some incredible playwrights in those days including Madhuri Shekar, Luis Alfaro, Carla Ching, John Pollono, Kemp Powers, Dan O’Brien, Zakiyyah Alexander, Larissa FastHorse, Sheila Callaghan, and many others. The episodes from 2015-2017 are now hosted on YouTube. You can listen to them at this link.
