Show Notes

Jon Kretzu lives in the beautiful pacific northwest and a graduate of Cal State.  He bills himself as a director, dramaturge and journalist and is one of the busiest and energetic theatre directors in Portland, OR.  He has worked professionally all of the world and was the Associate Artistic Director at ART (Artist Repertory Theatre) for 20 years and directed over 50 shows.  His passion for music guides him towards his artistic vision for most of the plays, operas and musicals that he has the privilege to direct.  Working on various adaptations of classical works is one of his favorite past times having worked with some of the BEST in our profession: playwrights Tracey Letts (August Osage County), Richard Kramer (thirtysomething and Once and Again) and Joseph Fisher (Cupid and Psyche).  Talking shop with Jon was educational and lively. I hope you enjoy!
