Created by Independent Shakespeare Co., Art Break is a living link between Los Angeles & its theater community. The podcast extends conversations about universal truths in Shakspeare's plays, theatrical performance, & relevant social issues beyond the stage, into the digital-auditory scape through storytelling, discussion, & social action.
As theater’s societal role is reimagined, how do our priorities change as theatremakers? How do we serve the LA community when we’re forced to stay apart? How can we incorporate renewed values of holistic accessibility & social justice into this new era?
