Episode # 158 - The Indie Theater Life: Matthew Trumbull

In the latest episode of The Indie Theater Life, Michael Criscuolo talks one-on-one with actor Matthew Trumbull, who discusses his recent experiences working on the TheatreworksUSA touring production of Charlotte’s Web (Matt was on the road for six months with this show). He also talks about his longtime collaboration with playwright Matthew Freeman, and his ongoing association with Metropolitan Playhouse.

In addition, Matt discusses his start in show business, and has some interesting responses to our “nytheatrecast Hot Seat” questionnaire - featuring a great anecdote about his most notable onstage mishap, involving actress Mary Beth Hurt. Not to be missed.

(Full disclosure: Matt is a longtime nytheatre.com contributor. You can read his bio here.)

    Post-interview correction: In the interview, I say that Mary Beth Hurt is married to William Hurt. That is incorrect, they divorced in 1981. She is now married to screenwriter Paul Schraeder.
