This episode of the nytheatrecast spotlights Maieutic Theatre Works’s new production, Arpeggio, a play by David Stallings with music by Alec Bridges and Sarah Chaney. It touches on some very timely topics including illegal immigration and America’s current obsession with celebrity.

Playwright David Stallings and actress Kristina Kohl (who plays a fading pop star in the show) talk to Michael Criscuolo about the origin and history of Maieutic Theatre Works, some of Arpeggio’s more distinguishing features (like a live onstage rock band), and why the show is not a musical, among other things. David also gives listeners a sneak peek at the rest of Maieutic’s upcoming season. This is a lively and thought-provoking discussion with two artists who are clearly very passionate about this project.
