Arts Alive! podcast: Theater director Stephen Riordan
The new show from his Dead Canary company has just entered its first weekend.
Fellow podcaster Stephen Riordan is in the Arts Alive! studio today, talking about his theater company, Dead Canary, and the production of Fat Pig that opened Thursday night at The Studio@620.
Written by famous misanthrope Neil LaBute, Fat Pig is a dark comedy about society, polite and otherwise, and the events that transpire once you “disappoint” your so-called friends.
It runs this weekend and next at The Studio@620.
Riordan is St. Petersburg born-and-raised, and he’s been mainlining theater for as long as he can remember. Dead Canary, which he co-founded with a pair of buddies, launched last spring with a well-received production of David Ives’ Venus in Fur – like Fat Pig, an edgy, envelope-pushing, confrontational and challenging choice.
For Stephen Riordan, that’s mission accomplished.
