Dara Weinberg from LAist caught up with Preludes & Fugues playwright John Glore and SOSE Artistic Director Matt McCray for a fun Q&A on living and breathing theatre in LA. Here's a snip:
SOSE as a company is noted for its experimental, cutting-edge theatre. How did you find this original group, and how do you continue to find new members? Matthew: The company was founded by 11 people who wanted to work together because there was a level of mutual respect since many of us had worked together for years in college. In the very very beginning we weren't experimental at all.... We didn't know what we were. But we started to figure it out pretty quickly. We all sort of gravitated to experimental-type work. As for membership.... we don't add new members often, mainly because there is so much more to being in SOSE than our productions. It is difficult to find people interested in not only our "style" but also all the other things that go along with membership like administrative work. And, in terms of recruitment.... it is more likely for a prospective member to find us than it is for us to find them. Artists of a like-mind will often find each other --- it is all very mind-meld.
