Sad to report that RSC founder Daniel Singer has died after an 18-month battle with cancer. He was in great spirits talking about his new play on the podcast with @austintichenor.bsky.social back in July. Our love goes out to his family and loved ones. Extraordinary legacy. @americantheatre.org

Last night, RSC artistic directors @austintichenor.bsky.social & Reed Martin received the Berger Award from the Shakespeare Theatre Association in recognition of their commitment to promoting and popularizing the works of Shakespeare. Stunned and honored. And stunned.

Austin and Reed holding their very heavy awards and looking both delighted and confused.
