WEEK THREE with RTP - Lucian Restivo, Artistic Director
Show Notes

I met this week’s guest back in 2015 when he designed sound for a show that I was directing at Richmond Triangle Players in Richmond Virginia.  He is now  Artistic Director of that theatre.  Lucian Restivo is a force to be reckoned with – he is a one man band and I don’t think there is anything in theatre that he cannot do.  Hiring him as the Artistic Director of Richmond Triangle Players was a brilliant move on their part before somebody else nabbed him up!  Last year in 2019 his award-winning production of The Laramie Project was not only gorgeous but Matthew Sheppard’s parents actually came to a special preview and he says this production will always hold a special place in his heart.  His win as director during last year’s ARTISIES was a moment the city of Richmond will never forget when he asked his love of his life, Luke Newsome to become his husband.  The Coronavirus epidemic and quarantine has put a hold on their nuptials but he guarantees me that it will happen as soon as possible once all of this is over.  Let’s don’t wait any longer – here’s Lucian.
