Talk Theatre In Chicago

The Talk Theatre In Chicago podcast hit a milestone with its 100th Episode! The first episode "aired" on February 13, 2006, with an interview with Dorothy Milne, the Artistic Director of Lifeline Theatre.  Since then the popular podcast has put out a new episode with a new guest every Monday for 100 consecutive weeks.

Over the course of 100 weekly episodes, Talk Theatre In Chicago has interviewed a total of 135 different people, including actors, actresses, directors, playwrights, choreographers, Jeff Committee Members, designers, producers, Artistic Directors, Marketing and PR professionals, and critics, to name a few. 

Our milestone 100th episode features an interview with director Gary Griffin, who discusses his current work directing The Goodbye Girl, now playing at the Drury Lane Oakbrook Theatre. Gary Griffin also talks in depth about his role in directing The Color Purple, both its 2005 Broadway debut and its recent run in Chicago.  Griffin has received eight Joseph Jefferson Awards for directing and has twice been named a "Chicagoan of the Year in the Arts" by the Chicago Tribune.
