The Present Stage: Conversations with Theater Writers

Mara Nelson-Greenberg — NOT NOT JANE'S

Episode Summary

Mara Nelson-Greenberg hops on to the podcast to talk about her new play Not Not Jane's, one off three productions in Clubbed Thumb's Summerworks 2025. We start off with a heavy-hitting question: Why are fart jokes still so funny? But then we dive deeper into the challenges of finding moving meaning in the absurd and carving believable human characters out of the silliest circumstances. If you've always wanted to learn more about Clubbed Thumb's new play development process — or if you've never heard of Clubbed Thumb before — then this is the episode for you!
