Goodman Blog

We sat down with the stage manager for The Happiest Song Plays Last and over 20 year veteran of the Goodman, Kim Osgood, to learn more about what it is like to work behind the scenes in the theater.

We asked playwright Quiara Alegría Hudes to share with us what music she listened to while writing The Happiest Song Plays Last. Here you will find Hudes' playlist, which contains an array of both Middle Eastern artists and Puerto Rican/Latin artists.

A special message for our subscribers from Goodman Theatre Artistic Director Robert Falls.

Our next staff profile is long overdue, and we were lucky enough to grab a few moments with Kelly Rickert, the Goodman’s creative director, to talk about his work in our design office. All of the Goodman’s marketing materials are created by Kelly and his colleagues—a job that requires the keen artistic talent to evoke the essence of a play through imagery.

It’s a place where anything is possible, even miracles—and one you won’t find on a map! In anticipation of the Goodman’s Summer 2014 production of Brigadoon, the theater offers a deluxe travel package to give audiences a glimpse of the small Scottish town where it all began. Theater leaders will personally accompany patrons on a guided tour of the always-sunny Brigadoon while discussing their inspiration for bringing the play to life at Goodman Theatre.
