A conversation with producer Theodore Mann, who virtually began the Off-Broadway movement in the 1950's with his productions of Tennessee William's Summer and Smoke, Eugene O'Neill's The Iceman Cometh, and other classic productions. Mann, author of the recently published memoir Journeys in the Night: Creating a New American Theater with Circle in the Square, was also instrumental in reintroducing O'Neill to a new generation of theater-goers, which helped to reestablish O'Neill's legacy as one of America's all-time greatest playwrights.

Also on the show, Broadway reporter Patrick Healy of The New York Times, compares and contrasts his style of covering the theater beat with that of co-host Michael Riedel, Broadway reporter of the New York Post.
