About this listen

Join host Alexis on Zoomed In for a captivating conversation with Peter Brosius, the celebrated former Artistic Director of The Children's Theatre Company. In this episode, we trace the journey from his formative years at the experimental Hampshire College to the helm of one of the nation's most acclaimed theaters.


Peter opens up about the challenges and triumphs of a lifetime in the arts, sharing his unique process for selecting and developing groundbreaking productions. He reveals the essential skills needed to be an artistic director—and the difficult wisdom of knowing when it's time for a final bow. As a poignant farewell, he discusses why he chose Alice in Wonderland for his final production and how he's reimagining this classic story for a new generation.


From Hampshire's dogma to award-winning leadership, this is a masterclass in building a life dedicated to the power of theater. Tune in for an inspiring look behind the curtain.
