Episode Description from the Publisher

Today, I’m thrilled to announce my interview with two-time Tony winner Stephen Spinella, who is currently starring in Jerome at Playwrights Horizons. Tune in to hear some of the stories of his legendary career, including a transcendent experience onstage in ANGELS IN AMERICA, how he first met Tony Kushner, finding the gay subtext in OUR TOWN, his seven-year run in HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD, co-starring with Estelle Parsons in THE VELOCITY OF AUTUMN, why he felt he was wrong for A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE and ELECTRA, what Meryl Streep did for him during THE SEAGULL, a funny comment from Mike Nichols, the long development of IHO, auditioning for Stephen Sondheim, the joys of SPRING AWAKENING, and so much more. Don’t miss this candid conversation with one of Broadway’s best actors.
