GUEST:
PATRICK DOOLEY / TRIUMPH OF LOVE DIRECTOR & SHOTGUN PLAYERS FOUNDING ARTISTIC DIRECTOR
Patrick Dooley joins David today to talk about Shotgun Players’ current production of Triumph of Love (written by Pierre Carlet De Marivaux and translated by Stephen Wadsworth). Dooley founded the Players in 1992 – from their humble beginnings with great inspirations and aspirations, their journey to now and what’s next.
Since 2009, The Shotgun Players Ashby Stage location has been a canvas for the Murals of each new production. Located at the corner of Ashby Ave. and Martin Luther King Jr. Way, this gallery of changing murals not only promote each current production, they reach out to the community and has become a mobile mural gallery whether one is walking, riding or driving by.
