Beckett’s Babies Beckett’s Babies

Hello listeners!

We have another fun episode for you this week. We had the pleasure of speaking to Taylor Edelle Stuart who we first met at Iowa!



Taylor Edelle Stuart is a film & theatre director, video artist, and projection designer.  Her work focuses on the interplay between the digital and physical by cultivating harmony and tension between theatrical and cinematic modes. Taylor designed projections (alongside co-designer Tal Yarden) for the world premiere of The Outsiders ahead of its run on Broadway. She also recently designed video for the National Tour of R.E.S.P.E.C.T., a concert series celebrating the life and work of Aretha Franklin. She served as Assistant Projection Designer to David Bengali on the Broadway Musical Water for Elephants (Tony Nominee), and on New York Theatre Workshop + Tectonic Theatre Project’s co-production of Here There Are Blueberries (Pulitzer Prize Finalist.). She is currently developing an original multi-media work as a part of Mercury Store's Emerging Directors Lab.

Hello listeners!

This week's guest is Kira Rockwell!

Kira (she/her) is a neurodivergent playwright, originally from the heart of Texas. Through a trauma informed, healing centered lens, she aims to nurture communal spaces that disrupt passivity and empower agency. This summer she will develop her play WICKED BITTER BEAST(S) with Alabama Shakespeare Festival. Her play, OH TO BE PURE AGAIN, was developed with The Kennedy Center, National New Play Network, and Great Plains Theatre Commons. It premiered at Actor’s Express in 2023 going on to win the Gene Gabriel Moore Playwriting Award. Rockwell's work is often based on her nuanced experiences growing up in "culty" Pentecostal Christian Communities. She is based in Atlanta with her creative husband and their sweet lab pit. When she’s not writing, she’s probably trying to talk to a caterpillar.

THAT'S A WRAP FOR SEASON 5! Thank you all so much for tuning in every week and hear us chat about all things playwriting.

NOTE: Towards the second half of the episode, Sarah's mic went off and had some audio issues. We apologize for the quality!

A real cherry on top to the year Sarah had... we hope you enjoy nonetheless.

Thank you again for another incredible season. Wishing everyone a happy and safe holiday season... See you next year!
