Summary
What happens when a high-level math student reads an absurdist French play and decides to ditch business school for the stage? This week on Wheels, Deals, and Meals, we sit down on stage at the historic Alley Theatre with its visionary Artistic Director, Rob Melrose. Drawing from nearly 38 years of theatrical mastery, Rob opens up about how reading Jean-Paul Sartre’s No Exit completely redirected his life away from business school and toward a passion for directing, translating, and writing. Tune in as he details his creative process of selecting plays, stretching a European study grant to its absolute limits, and leading the Alley Theatre out of pandemic recovery into a triumphant new era of excellence.
