This is the first episode of “The Leonard Jacobs Show,” which is a new monthly series on nytheatrecast, hosted by Leonard Jacobs, national theatre editor for Back Stage. Leonard’s first guest is John Clancy, Obie-winning director and playwright, and one of the founders of the League of Independent Theatre.

 The League is the main topic of conversation here. The League is a brand new organization that is being created to provide support and advocacy for the indie theater community (i.e., theatre presented in venues of 99 seats or fewer in New York City). John explains how the League is being formed and discusses the objectives and vision of this important new group.

Leonard is asking listeners to help him come with up a snappy name for this new series; if you have any suggestions, please email them to admin@nytheatrecast.com.
