Between the Lines with Eric Simonson

In this episode, we sit down with Eric Simonson to discuss his memoir Between the Lines: Steppenwolf's Seagull and A Reluctant Actor's Journey Back to the Stage. The book chronicles Steppenwolf Theatre Company’s bold return from the Covid-19 shutdown with a $43 million new theater and a fresh adaptation of The Seagull. For Simonson—an acclaimed writer, director, and longtime Steppenwolf ensemble member—it meant stepping back onstage after 33 years away. Part diary and part history of the Chicago Theatre Renaissance, the memoir takes us behind the scenes of this landmark production while tracing Simonson’s personal battle with stage fright, self-doubt, and rediscovery of the joy of acting.
