Adirondack Theatre Festival

The Adirondack Theater Festival’s founding producing artistic director, Martha Banta, is currently serving in that role on an interim basis while the organization conducts a national search for a permanent replacement. Martha joins us this morning for an ATF Season Preview.

Adirondack Theatre Festival is live and inside this summer, staging a comedy, a concert tribute, and a play reading at the Wood Theater. ATF is also producing free entertainment outdoors including a children’s play at City Park and nightly 30-minute music performances next to the Wood on ATF show nights.

In addition to freelance directing, Martha has also been the Founding Artistic Director at the, an Artistic Associate at New York Theater Workshop, the Associate Director of "MAMMA MIA!" on Broadway and the National Tours, and the Original Resident Director of "RENT" for Broadway, two National Tours, and London.

Joe talks to people on the radio for a living. In addition to countless impressive human "gets" - he has talked to a lot of Muppets. Joe grew up in Philadelphia, has been on the area airwaves for more than 25 years and currently lives in Washington County, NY with his wife, Kelly, and their dog, Brady. And yes, he reads every single book.
