Call Time with Katie Birenboim

Ever wonder what really happens after the house lights go down and the stage door closes? Call Time with Katie Birenboim pulls up a chair in the green room for those intimate, unguarded talks that happen when the performance is over. This isn't a formal interview series; it's where the craft of theatre gets discussed with both warmth and depth. Katie engages in casual, yet serious-minded conversations with theatre's best and brightest-from celebrated actors and visionary directors to the unsung playwrights and designers who shape a production's soul. Each episode feels like you're eavesdropping on a candid dialogue between colleagues, one that delves into the messy, beautiful, and often unpredictable work of telling stories live. You'll hear about the nerves before a first preview, the collaborative breakthroughs in rehearsal, and the personal philosophies that drive artists to return to the stage night after night. This podcast offers a rare, authentic look behind the curtain, celebrating not just the glamour of opening nights but the gritty, passionate work that makes them possible. Tune in for a genuine connection to the heart of the performing arts.
