For as long as I can remember, I’ve been in a love affair with the theater. 
Shaw Festival 2014 Season Preview
Friday, Feb. 21 at 9:30 p.m. on WNED-TV (R: 2/23, 3 a.m. & 4:30 p.m.)
In the spirit of Bernard Shaw, the Shaw Festival entertains audiences and supporters far beyond their town with an incredibly talented acting ensemble and production company.
“What I love about, when people come to the Shaw, of course you, I think as a theatergoer, you want to try two experiences. You want to see something you know done in a new and interesting way, but I’m also happy that, when people come to the Shaw, they’re up for seeing something they don’t know, and that’s part of the excitement,” says Jackie Maxwell, artistic director.
The 2014 season is no exception. Anthony Chase, co-host of WBFO’s “Theatre Talk,” sits down with Shaw Festival decision makers for a sneak peek of this year’s lineup of productions in the “Shaw Festival 2014 Season Preview.”
