In this Premiere Episode of Creator’s Canvas, an interview with Barry Kornhauser, the award-winning playwright of The Children's Theatre Company's production of Corduroy. It is currently showing now through April 2. Barry’s stage adaptation of the beloved book Corduroy originally premiered in 2018 and went on to win the American Alliance for Theatre & Education’s “Distinguished Play Award”. The St. Paul Pioneer Press raves that it “leaves its audience delightfully impaired by extreme laughter.”
In this conversation we discuss Barry’s own inspirations, his unique creative process for initial writing and how a project comes to finalizing that stage magic. He disclosed his later hilarious but previously, unpleasant awkward and embarrassing moments. He shares sound advice for anyone seeking a career in the fascinating world of theater and adaptive playwriting. Ending with a surprise impromptu personal question for host Bridge Sky that many people often are curious about but never openly bring it up.
