Fine Cut with Alyson: Krista Schafer

Fine Cut with Krista Schafer

Alyson and Krista Schafer (Founding Artistic Director of Open Book Theatre Company) discuss the opening scene of the theater workplace comedy, Slings and Arrows. In it, the main character, Geoffrey Tennant (Paul Gross) plunges the toilet in the small theater bathroom while his stage manager details all the unpaid bills. Krista first watched this scene before founding Open Book and didn’t realize then how important bathrooms really are! The scene works on a metaphorical and literal level and Krista and Alyson talk about both. What do each of us do–i.e. what kind of metaphorical shit do we wade through to work and create? It’s a lively discussion. Join us!
