Gregory Poggi
Gregory Poggi grew up in New York City in the 1950s and 60s, where he fell in love with theater. After attending Iona College, he went on to Indiana University in Bloomington, where he got both his MA and Ph.D.. His decades of leadership in American theater is astoundingly long and distinguished. Greg is a founder of the Indiana Repertory Theatre in Indianapolis, served as managing director of the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre in Winnipeg, and he has led university theater and artistic management programs in Dallas, Texas and Ann Arbor, Michigan. He is, in fact, the perfect person for us to interview at this point in the overall storyline of our podcast, because - because during the 1980s, he was the head of the Philadelphia Drama Guild.
