This week Ivy Vahanian joins Maggie and Anna to discuss Ayad Akhtar’s “Disgraced“, which is coming to Santa Barbara next week. Ivy also tells us about her experiences performing the play in China. And, of course, To Lear or not to Lear, that is, once again, the question.

Tell us about your upcoming shows and news! Our listenership is growing and we invite the local theatre community to join in the discussion. If you’re interested in being a guest on an upcoming episode, or if you have suggestions for topics, please contact us!
