River Rep Theatre's New Season

This week on Curtain Call, host Tom sits down with Arthur Aulisi of River Rep Theatre for an in-depth conversation about the company’s exciting season. From the dazzling, over-the-top magic of The NeverEnding Story — praised by critic Jonathan Charles Fox as “an extremely ambitious magical treat not to be missed” — to the thoughtful programming of River Rep Junior, Arthur shares how River Rep is building a legacy of imaginative, community-driven theatre. Together, they explore the artistry behind ambitious productions, the joy of nurturing young talent, and the balance of honoring tradition while pushing creative boundaries.

The conversation also looks ahead to River Rep’s newest production: Christopher Durang’s Tony Award-winning comedy Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike.
