Offscript is American Theatre’s flagship podcast, available wherever you get your podcasts (including Spotify and Apple Podcasts).

This month, editor-in-chief Rob Weinert-Kendt talks to playwright Jessica Huang and director Jaki Bradley about Mother of Exiles, Huang’s ambitious new play (at Berkeley Repertory Theatre Nov. 14-Dec. 21) about how an American family is shaped by immigration and inter-marriage. Then Kelundra Smith, TCG’s director of publications, chats with Donna Walker-Kuhne, whose new book, Champions of the Arts, offers strategies for creating equitable, inclusive, and diverse community engagement in the arts.

Guests’ recommendations: Jaki Bradley was blown away by Natalie Palamides’s “very silly and audacious and bombastic and bawdy” solo show Weer at the Cherry Lane Theatre Off-Broadway, and Jessica Huang was floored by Brian Quijada and Nygel Robinson’s Mexodus, also Off-Broadway, at the Minetta Lane Theatre.
