For Episode 7 Chuck sits down with South Coast Repertory Literary Associate Kristina Leach to talk about what it is that a literary associate does, the inner workings of a busy theatrical literary department, and what it means to be "struck by lightning". Along the way the conversation touches on playwriting, finding inspiration, and getting back "in the room". From her first assignment of picking up Richard Greenberg from LAX to the adult playwriting class she currently teaches at SCR's Adult Conseratory, Kristina has a deep passion for the work and a ton of brilliant insights into the creative process that make this a must-listen for theatre professionals and amateurs everywhere!
