Theater Table Talk - 009 - Legacy & Revelations: Casey Burden Unveils The Players Theatre Company’s 60th Season

On this episode of Theater Table Talk, host Terry Woods sits down on location at the historic Owen Theatre with Artistic Director Casey Burden of Players Theatre Company.

As the company prepares to celebrate its landmark 60th season, Casey shares the vision behind the powerful theme “Legacy & Revelations” — honoring 59 years of community theater while expanding storytelling beyond the stage walls.

From bold productions like How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, Silent Sky, The Mountaintop, Come From Away, Nunsense, and Forever Plaid — to talkbacks, outreach performances, education programs, and community expansion — this season is about truth, growth, and the responsibility of legacy.

Casey also reflects on:

• Her journey from Spring, Texas to New York theater
• Working in every aspect of stage production — from wigs at Lincoln Center to tech design
• Why community theater builds confidence, business skills, and lifelong connections
• How storytelling strengthens cities and unites generation

If you love live theater, arts in Montgomery County, or behind-the-scenes conversations about how seasons are built — this episode is for you.
