I am not a writer nor an actor, but love the theater as a patron. I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to each of Dennis Bush’s guests as they chat about what inspires them. It is so interesting to hear the steps taken to build their initial thoughts and the process each party goes through to deliver the final product. I find it really does add a lovely peek inside the creative minds.
The structure of this podcast is unique and fascinating as it explores the “behind-the-scenes” thought process that delves into the writing, and at times directing, and performance of a monologue. Each episode is different yet follows the same theme. I have learned so much about the artistic process and remain intrigued to continue to dive into each new episode. The hosts are wonderful and ask very thought-provoking questions and the guests are forthcoming and brilliant in the sharing of their p... more
The concept, by Dennis Bush, of having a playwright discuss a monologue in a specific play then having an actor read that monologue is both a brilliant idea & a delight in which to listen. It enlarges a moment in the play by presenting background reasoning for the monologue & gives life to that moment via the voice of the actor. I look forward to hearing both the playwrights thoughts/reasoning for the specific topic & the actors voice giving it life.
So inspiring to listen to creatives share their process in the safe respectful environment created by Dennis Bush. Not the biz but the gifts shared when writing acting and more.

A theatre-centric interview series that pairs a writer-host with a rotating group of co-hosts to explore the craft of writing and performance. Episodes center on monologue creation, character development, and the writing-into-performance process, often featuring in-depth discussions of a specific monologue and its writer's inspiration, followed by actor readings or performances. Recurring strengths include candid conversations about craft, collaborative dynamics between writers and actors, and a willingness to tackle tough topics—mortality, caregiving, identity, and social themes—through the lens of theatre. The show tends to attract guests from playwriting and acting worlds who value authenticity, process, and the personal storytelling tha... more
