This video is a departure from what I have done before. This is a recording of Neil LaBute discussing the origins of his play “The Shape of Things”. It was recorded during a talk back session with the playwright. There will be some of these interspersed in the next episodes.

This is the beginning of a series of podcasts that cover various areas pertaining to Technical Theatre. They explain tips and tricks of various artistic and technical skills, both digital and traditional, used in the theatre today. However they are not just for technically- or artistically-minded people. They should have a broader reach. Are they just for theatre people? I hope not. They are educational but not just for the student. The format of the individual podcast varies. Just to shake it up and keep it interesting, some are video podcasts, while others are audio files or booklet/print downloads. The format is determined by the needs of the content. Please send all encouragement and constructive criticism to the contact email at the bottom of the page . 
This is a repost from an earlier version of the podcast.
