Welcome to Theatre 33’s podcast series Building Play. In each episode Theatre 33 artists will talk about the art and craft of playwriting. We'll discuss how we develop new work with our playwrights, actors, directors, designers, and dramaturges as we all focused on Building Play.


Building Play is made possible through generous donations from Ronni Lacroute, Pioneer Trust Bank, and the Oregon Community Foundation.

Additional support for podcast development was provided through Willamette's Andrew W. Mellon Foundation-funded Liberal Arts Research Collaborative initiative.
