Kate Lumpkin on Casting Masquerade NYC, Building Community, and Trusting Your Audience
Manage episode 508496139 series 1407246
Audiences don’t just want to watch theater; they want to step inside it. Few people understand that better than casting director Kate Lumpkin.
Kate has become a go-to voice in immersive performance, shaping productions that dissolve the line between stage and audience. Her latest project? Masquerade NYC: an immersive Phantom of the Opera revival now running Off Broadway.
For Kate, immersive work isn’t a trend. It’s a response to what audiences are hungry for: connection, participation, and community. Her vision flips the question from “How do we fill the seats?” to “How do we open the doors wider?”
