Welcome to cultivate., with Jessica Taghap – a new podcast exploring different art forms and their creative processes through interviews with some of the most exciting artists working today.
From an unexpected message on LinkedIn to witnessing an equally unexpected night at the theater—first-time theatre-maker Colleen Murphy keeps on surprising us all with her debut play, I Wore What When, a solo performance presented at the United Solo Festival based on her memories of growing up in suburban Massachusetts. Featuring actor Michelle Shupe and directed by Shole Milos, I Wore What When is a piece that explores memory and trauma.
I’m sitting down today with all three to talk about the process of bringing this story to the stage. We talk about Colleen’s experience stepping into the role of a playwright for the first time, how Michelle and Shole navigated her own steps onstage in the role of Maura, and what they each took away from collaborating with one another.
