I met Daniel Goldfarb back in 1997 when I company managed a workshop of Parade. Daniel was Alfred Uhry’s (who wrote the book) assistant, and I remember people saying . . . “That kid that is booking Alfred’s travel and getting his lunch? He’s going to be a major playwright someday.” We had a great time together on this podcast, reminiscing about our days on Parade and also talking about . . .

NYU or Julliard . . . which program did he like better?  ?

Why he writes at coffee shops.

How he was discovered and how he dealt with the first show not getting all the way to Broadway.

Critics . . . why they are important, and what he wishes for theatrical criticism in the future.

How he markets himself, and why it’s challenging.
