From Page to Stage: Bringing a One-Act to NYTF with Lisa NasoHow do you take a raw idea and turn it into a premiering play in the heart of the New York theater scene?In this episode, I sit down with playwright Lisa Naso to celebrate the upcoming premiere of their brand-new one-act play, "LADIES," running this month at the New York Theater Festival.As a non-binary artist navigating the modern theater landscape, Lisa shares a beautifully candid look at their creative journey. We explore the triumphs and hurdles of the writing process, the vulnerability of putting your words into the hands of actors, and the crucial (but rarely talked about) art of managing expectations with your creative team.In this episode, we discuss:

• How to find the core message of a one-act play.

• Moving from the solitary writing phase to the collaborative rehearsal room.

• Actionable strategies for maintaining healthy communication and boundaries with cast and crew.

• What to expect when premiering a show in a major NYC festival.
