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.
