A new episode of Three on the Aisle, the podcast in which Peter Marks, Elisabeth Vincentelli, and I talk about theater in America, is now available on line for listening or downloading.

Here’s American Theatre’s “official” summary of the proceedings: 

This week the critics discuss the recent Tony Awards announcement and surrounding controversy, and the imminent opening of some live theatre productions in New York, including the Donmar Warehouse’s Blindness. They also reflect on a listener question about sound design, and discuss the many changes that the theatre ecology is continuing to undergo. Their picks this week include Party Hop by Natalie Margolin (on YouTube), Undermain Theatre’s production of St. Nicholas by Conor McPherson, and the Working Theatre’s American Dreams, which was mentioned in a previous episode by our guest Tamala Woodard.
