About this episode
The episode discusses the theme of Legends and Legacy in the context of the PA Shakespeare Festival and features insights from the next generation of theatre-makers.
PA Shakespeare Festival continues its second season of As You Mic It with a conversation centered on this year’s theme, Legends and Legacy. In this episode, hosts Jason King Jones, Kim Carson, and Connie Behringer open with a roundtable on what defines a “legend” and how legacy takes shape within an artistic community. Later in the episode, we turn to the next generation of theatre-makers through PSF’s new Muse of Fire Project. They share what draws them to Shakespeare, why live performance matters to them, and how the program is shaping their early steps as artists. In A Peek Behind the Curtain, Kim offers insight into casting the inaugural Muse of Fire ensemble and how the project supports PSF’s commitment to mentorship, access, and legacy-building across the Festival.
