## Resource

PA Shakespeare Festival continues its second season of As You Mic It with a special one-act conversation focused on leadership, stewardship, and the responsibility of carrying performance traditions forward. In this episode, Artistic Director Jason King Jones sits down with Vanessa Morosco , Executive Artistic Director of the American Shakespeare Center, for a conversation about what it means to lead a classical theatre company in this moment. Together, they explore how Shakespeare’s plays continue to ask urgent questions of artists and audiences alike, and how rehearsal rooms can become spaces where shared purpose shapes the work. Their discussion also reflects on the connection between artistic leadership and community building, the balance between honoring tradition and encouraging discovery, and how theatre organizations create cultures that allow artists to do their best work. Hosted by: Jason King Jones Featuring: Vanessa Morosco As You Mic It is produced by Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival.
