In our debut episode (filmed before our Artistic Congress in October 2024), we sit down with theatre-maker, educator, and civic practice pioneer Michael Rohd to discuss how regional theatre must evolve to stay relevant and impactful. As co-founder of Sojourn Theatre and a leader in collaborative, community-driven storytelling, Michael shares his insights on breaking away from traditional models, fostering civic engagement through theatre, and what it really means to build a cultural institution that serves its community. If you’ve ever wondered what the future of regional theatre could look like, this is the conversation to start with.
