About this episode

Jon Tracy shares his journey and creative motivations as a prolific theater artist in the Bay Area.

Jon Tracy is one of the most prolific theater artists in the Bay Area. By sheer force of will and a determined, workmanlike approach, he has carved out a career that has put his prodigious skills to work in nearly every mid-sized theatre in town. Remarkably, he is also that rare breed of theater maker who spends more time listening than talking when he's in a room. He epitomizes the expression, "speak softly but carry a big stick." Or, in his case, VISION. Fortunately, I was able to squeeze some time into his busy schedule, so he could share some of his remarkable journey and what continues to motivate his relentless, tenacious creativity. This conversation was recorded at the Shotgun Studios on Tuesday morning, March 7th. As always, your feedback and suggestions are welcome at patrick@shotgunplayers.org . If you're so inclined, we'd appreciate any opportunity you have to spread the word on these conversations with other local theater makers and fans who might enjoy them. https://www.marinshakespeare.org/ https://jontracyplays.com/
