Offscript is American Theatre’s flagship podcast, available wherever you get your podcasts (including Spotify and Apple Podcasts), and this month we have a very special episode for you.

This month, editor-in-chief Rob Weinert-Kendt and digital editor Gabriela Furtado Coutinho host our annual unveiling of the Top 10 Most-Produced Plays and Top 20 Most-Produced Playwrights lists, which are also in our Fall print issue and are online here and here. (As always, we don’t include productions of A Christmas Carol on the plays list or Shakespeare on the playwrights list.) We then welcome on Irene Sankoff and David Hein, co-authors of the popular musical Come From Away, alongside Lauren Gunderson, making her fourth appearance at the top of the most-produced playwrights list, for a conversation about their work and about the role of theatre in troubled times.
