Marcus Crowder had a nice article regarding Big Idea Theater Company recently, but I was happy mostly just to see what Kris David is up to:

"Do you do a show that everybody knows to try and get an audience? Do you go for something edgy?" Mahoney asks.

They've settled on a balance that runs a broad gamut of styles and genres. The classics are also important, and they'll do at least two Shakespeare productions a year.

Mahoney says that ultimately what they're able to do depends on the people they work with.

"We can do these bigger shows, hard-hitting shows, really emotionally driven shows, or crazy-silly shows and really commit to it – but we couldn't do it without the talent we're picking up."
