Offscript: The Humana Happening

It’s our second annual Humana critics roundtable! We sit down with three theatre critics to discuss what they liked or didn’t like about this year’s Humana Festival programming, and why you should see more new plays.

Every other week, the editors of American Theatre curate a free-ranging discussion about the lively arts.

In this special edition of Offscript, it’s our second annual Humana critics roundtable! This week we had associate editor/Humana correspondent Diep Tran sit down (via Skype) with three critics from around the country to discuss the 2015 Humana Festival of New American Plays at Actors Theatre of Louisville. They include Elizabeth Kramer of the Louisville Courier-Journal, Lou Harry of the Indianapolis Business Journal and Pam Harbaugh of BrevardCulture.com. They break down what they liked and didn’t like about this year’s plays, how this year’s programming compared to past years and why you should be seeing more new plays.
