On Sunday October 30, 2016, SDC Foundation will present Lisa Portes with the 2016 Zelda Fichandler Award for excellence in regional theatre. To celebrate, we wanted to unofficially re-issue a few of our favorite Masters of the Stage podcasts that seemed particularly relevant for this exciting weekend.

First we have Jonathan Moscone, the inaugural recipient of the Zelda Fichandler Award in 2009, in conversation with Anne Kauffman who had just received the TCG Alan Schneider Award Director Award. (2010)

Next, we share with you David Cromer in conversation with Michael Halberstam, Zelda Fichandler Award winner. David presented Michael with this award in 2010, and this weekend, Michael will introduce our 2016 Finalists Aimee Hayes and Eric Rosen. (2011)
