A discussion about the future of theater. Four of the longstanding Twin Cities theaters have new artistic directors and this hour they talk about the challenges they face in bringing plays to the small number of adults who want to attend live theater. Is theater necessary? The Guthrie's new director Joe Haj is joined by Sarah Bellamy of Penumbra, Sarah Rasmussen of Jungle and Randy Reyes of Mu Performing Arts.
