Description

Why do you go to the theater? What are you hoping to experience? How do you know if you have experienced what you hoped for? Join Robert Benjamin, play write, Duchess Dale, director and actor, and Shepard Sobel, off-Broadway producer, as they sit down for a conversation about theater. These three bring years of experience and love for the theater and their conversation will pull the curtain back on the theater in new ways.

Robert Benjamin is a late-blooming playwright, who loves to write light-hearted, upbeat comedies about aging with grace, courage and humor. Shepard Sobel was founder and artistic director of The Pearl Theatre Company in New York City.  Sobel has taught in Santa Fe and Albuquerque and has directed at many other venues. Duchess Dale’s credits as an actor include her award-winning role as Annie Sullivan in The Miracle Worker and Truvy in Steel Magnolias. Dale also hosts a podcast entitled Re-Wire.
