Director Leigh Silverman talks about the development of the Off-Broadway Beebo Brinker Chronicles and its transition from an Off-Off-Broadway space to a larger venue; how she juggles so many projects in a season where she has already staged Yellowface and Hunting And Gathering and is currently working on From Up Here at Manhattan Theatre Club and Of Equal Measure for the Center Theater Group in Los Angeles; the genesis of her involvement in the acclaimed play Wit, as well as the sad circumstances that led her to direct the play's West End debut; and the impact of Lisa Kron's Well on her career, as it traveled from The Public Theatre to San Francisco's American Conservatory Theatre then back to New York for the play's -- and her own -- Broadway debut.
