Director and Producer Joe Canuso sits down with us to talk about his life and career in Philly theater.
From acting at the Pocket Playhouse in the 70s, performing with dance troupes in the 80s, creating cutting-edge shows for the new Fringe Festival in the 90s, founding and leading Theatre Exile in the 2000s, Joe did brought a darkly comic edge and a driving energy to the Philly theater scene.
Along with the playwright Bruce Graham, Joe helped to bring to life the play "The Philly Fan." In this interview, Joe talks about the star of that one-man show, his friend and colleague, the late great Tom McCarthy.
