Playwright, Sean Chandler the writer (co-written with David Leeper) of last year's FringeNYC hit, At The Flash discusses what inspired him to create Your Program Is Your Ticks, "My play "At The Flash" has always been produced in theaters of an intimate nature and I have had the good fortune of having the show produced in Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Vermont, New York and Dublin, Ireland. Throughout that process, I have met many wonderful people who work in theater who I felt merited a voice to discuss their views on the production of theater at the local, regional, off-Broadway and off-off-Broadway level. I thought it would be wonderful to interview these artists and theatrical professionals to give them that voice, while at the same time still discussing larger theater productions, covering off on all levels and occupations of the theater."
