About This Podcast

Producing Heroes is a podcast dedicated to creative producers who make impossible things happen. Every day these intrepid theatrical alchemists harness the energies of artists, hustle opportunities, dream dreams and translate them from ideas into shows. They are the drivers of an industry and yet they tend to remain hidden, hiding behind the curtain. Until now. The triumphs and failures, the risks and rewards, the glory and the gory all feature in these deeply personal accounts of some of the world’s most inspiring creative producers. Producing Heroes tells their stories, in their own words. Producing Heroes Created by Circa Host: Yaron Lifschitz Producer: Lauren Eisinger Post Production: Thom Kellar, Folklore Sound Special thanks to Joe Melilo Kate Bouchier-Hayes
