Today on the podcast, James Jackson of Light Thief Productions, has been a part of some of the most consuming conversations being had in Philadelphia in the first half of 2020. So, I sat down for a chat with James. Here is my interview with James Jackson.

On today’s podcast, we caught up with James Ijames, director of August Wilson’s “Gem of the Ocean” at Arden Theatre Company. James makes everyone think a little bit deeper about the intentions of characters and the worlds they inhabit. We talk about crafting a vision on an already layered piece, sharing that vision with an amazing design team, audience responses and the through-lines of Wilson’s work.
