Television writer Mark Wilding

On this episode of Players, Performers, & Portrayers: The Podcast, I had the honor of talking to Mark Wilding. We chat about how he broke into the industry, the differences between writing for the stage and the screen, and what it’s like to work with Shonda Rhimes!

Wilding recently had a production of his play, Our Man in Santiago, open at Theatre West right before COVID-19 forced theatres to shut their doors. Due to Coronavirus, we also had to record this interview over the phone.
