Just a few months after we completed his interview for the podcast, Professor Barry Witham passed away in Seattle at the age of 83.
We interview the late theater historian Barry Witham about his 2013 book "A Sustainable Theatre: Jasper Deeter at the Hedgerow," and then bring listeners along on a guided tour of Hedgerow Theatre campus in Rose Valley, Pennsylvania.
Jasper Deeter formed Philadelphia's oldest repertory company - the Hedgerow Theatre - in 1923. His work as a director, actor, visionary and longtime acting teacher would have a profound affect on shaping Philadelphia's - and America's - theater for years to come.
