Offscript is American Theatre’s flagship podcast, available wherever you get your podcasts (including Spotify and Apple Podcasts).
Our first episode of 2026 features an interview with Dallas Theater Center’s recently named new artistic director, Jaime Castañeda, who tells about his background not only in Texas but all across the country (and in London) and about what he in store for Dallas theatregoers. We also chat with Kara Cutruzzula and Colin McDonald, founding co-editors of a new online publication about Off-Broadway theatre, readthehat.com, about how they choose their stories and what kinds of things they like to see onstage and online.
