92 – Lynne Meadow

Just after returning from a year-long sabbatical, Manhattan Theatre Club artistic director Lynne Meadow (who steered the organization to Tony wins for Love! Valour! Compassion!, Proof and Doubt) talks about what she did and didn't do during her hiatus and explains how she shared planning for last season and the coming year with interim artistic director Daniel Sullivan.  She also recalls her childhood as a stage struck youth in New Haven, including her performance in a new Maltby &amp; Shire musical when she was only 12 years old; her struggle to be accepted into the directing program at the Yale School of Drama; her first experience at the Manhattan Theatre Club and how she came to be named its artistic director; the play she couldn't get the rights to until Joseph Papp agreed to co-produce with MTC; the impact of MTC's successive venues (East 73rd Street, City Center and Broadway's Friedman Theatre) on the company's repertoire; and the company's long history with playwright Terrence McNally and the controversy that surrounded the late 90s production of Corpus Christi.
