Carmel Dean

We are in the room with two of the coolest, most brilliant minds in theatre today: Carmel Dean (Spelling Bee! American Idiot! If/Then! Hands On a Hard Body!) and Dick Scanlan (Thoroughly Modern Millie! Everyday Rapture! Whorl Inside a Loop!) We are recording from upstairs in the Abrons Arts Center where Carmel has just opened her first show as composer – the exquisitely visceral “Renascence.” The show is impeccably directed by Dick Scanlan who also wrote the book, with lyrics taken from the poems of the famed and utterly respected party girl poet Edna St.Vincent Millay. This incredibly lush theatre piece has seamlessly taken Millay’s poems and crafted them into a gripping story set during the period in her early life when her most iconic poem, “Renascence,” made her a phenomenon. We talk about nurturing the artistic process, cultivating works of passion, favorite cut songs, BEA ARTHUR, vulnerability in sharing your gifts with the world, leaving a legacy, The Girl in 14G, and how things that don’t go well have the ability to change your life for the better. And so much more! It is a pleasure to share this conversation with you.RenascenceThe Playhouse at Abrons Arts CenterOct 5th – November 17thPresented by Transport Group@carmiedean@transportgrpWe are sooooooo excited to be sponsored by Pink Party Rosé!!

Ep. 67: Rita Bullwinkel & Dick Scanlan 

Michael Mayer

Co-Directors Michael Mayer and Dick Scanlan tell all about their new hit play "Whorl Inside A Loop." Co-written by Scanlan and Sheire Rene Scott, the play is loosely based on Scanlan and Scott's experience working with prison inmates on writing and performing monologues about the circumstances that landed the inmates in jail. Currently playing at Second Stage Theater, the new work is a New York Times Critic's pick.
