The Baltimore team is excited to continue its partnership with The Truth in This Art, a local podcast hosted by Charm City native Rob Lee that has “bridged arts, culture, and community through authentic, insightful, and curious conversations” for more than 700 episodes (and counting).
On a monthly basis, Baltimore editors, contributors, and subjects sit down with Lee to give listeners an inside look at the making of the stories they’re reading in the magazine.
This latest interview with Lesley Malin, producing executive director of Chesapeake Shakespeare Company, is a continuation of our coverage of the Baltimore August Wilson Celebration—an ongoing string of performances from the prolific playwright’s 10-part American Century Cycle at several of the city’s theaters. Chesapeake Shakespeare Company is home to the current production in the series, Joe Turner’s Come and Gone, which runs through Oct. 13.
Listen in as Malin discusses her role in uniting the theater community for the celebration, her trajectory in the industry, and how Chesapeake Shakespeare Company is making its performances accessible to Baltimore City youth.
