From Script to Stage: Jeremy Mahr on the Art of Directing

In this episode of Talking Art, Jeremy Mahr joins the conversation to explore the art of directing and what it takes to bring a script to life on stage. As director of The Playcrafters Barn Theatre’s upcoming production of God of Carnage, Jeremy reflects on shaping performance, guiding actors, and building tension within a sharply satirical story about civility unraveling.

Beyond the production itself, Jeremy and host Ben dive into the evolving power dynamics within theatre, discussing the importance of consent, accountability, and creating collaborative rehearsal spaces where artists feel respected and heard. Together, they examine how thoughtful direction not only shapes a performance but also defines the culture of a production.
