The Doppelganger playwright Matthew-Lee Erlbach is the guest on episode 120 of the artist podcast The Compass.
Hosted by Leah Walsh, the weekly podcast is dedicated to the stories of working actors, writers, directors, designers, dancers, musicians, composers, playwrights, and more, who share their personal experiences of balancing a career in the arts while finding innovative and practical ways to sustain their creative lives.
This week, Walsh welcomes Erlbach, whose play The Doppelganger just finished its run at Steppenwolf Theatre, directed by Tony nominee Tina Landau. Erlbach speaks with Walsh about finding his way as an artist, moving to Los Angeles to write for television, and taking political action through his art.
