With:
Daryl Roth
Producer Daryl Roth, talks about her current and upcoming projects, including the Off-Broadway plays Vigil, The Temperamentals and Love, Loss and What I Wore. She also discusses how she plunged into producing with Maltby and Shire's Closer Than Ever, after having been solely a member of the audience up to that point; her ongoing partnership with producer Elizabeth McCann on the plays of Edward Albee (Three Tall Women, The Goat, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?); her relationships with a number of not-for-profit theatre companies, notably the Manhattan Theatre Club; how she finds plays and what factors into her decisions on what to produce; what it's like to be both a theatre owner and an independent producer; how she varies her role from being lead producer to being "part of the team" from project to project; the show she most wishes she'd been a part of; the impact of getting letters from members of the audience, and which show of hers generated the most mail; how Wit was prevented from playing on Broadway; the painful decisions that led to closing The Mambo Kings out-of-town; and how she feels about starting a theatrical dynasty now that her son Jordan is heading Jujamcyn Theatres.
