<description>&lt;p&gt;Tori and Mabelle talk with Dominican-American playwright, screenwriter, and director &lt;strong&gt;Marco Antonio Rodriguez&lt;/strong&gt;, whose unconventional path took him from New York to Florida and Dallas, with a boost from Carmen Rivera and a pivotal reading with the Puerto Rican Traveling Theatre led by Miriam Colón. The conversation traces how writing in Spanish—once something he resisted—ultimately opened the doors to &lt;em&gt;The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao&lt;/em&gt; and productions at &lt;strong&gt;Repertorio Español, &lt;/strong&gt;The Goodman, and The Old Globe. Marco shares hard-earned wisdom about wearing many hats and trusting collaborators. He reminds us that show business is, above all, a business—one that demands grace, flexibility, and integrity, and a deep respect for the collaborative process of making theater.&lt;/p&gt;
