Friday Phone Call # 46: Noah Siegler, Artistic Director of StageNorth in Washburn, Wisconsin

Summary: By David Dower. Today my guest is Noah Siegler, who is the artistic director of StageNorth in Washburn, Wisconsin. There is such fresh air in this discussion—around the ways StageNorth connects with its neighbors, about the ways it organizes its business, about the purpose of doing it at all. I'm struck, in talking with him, about how close to community and purpose any organization like it is. For all the hand-wringing about impact and relevance that we see in the conversations here at HowlRound so regularly, here's a man who is in full relationship with his audience, his citizenship role, and his definitions of success. What can we learn from each other, what can we share with each other, that brings us closer to what Dudley Cocke started the week off with : "a theater that's national in scope, regional in emphasis, and democratic in attitude"? Thanks for the time, Noah. Very glad...
