The Yay is back for 2022! We bring back Robert Estes, the founder of Anton’s Well, a local bay area company that is known for delivering rich, creative and challenging theatre pieces like Dirty Butterfly, The Human Ear and 4.48 Psychosis, featuring some of our favorite actors like Kim Donovan (Episode 80) and Crystal Brown (Episode 62). We talk about how COVID-19 and the Omicron variant has disrupted theater and general life, how Anton’s Well deals with diversity in theatre and our perspective on what bay area theater will look like in the future.
