The B-Side is the official blog for Arena Stage. With behind-the-scenes content, updates on our current and upcoming productions, and thoughtful perspectives on the state of theater today, we hope it will add a richer dimension to your Arena experience.

The B-Side is authored by a range of Arena staff and artists, showcasing the diversity that has been an Arena hallmark since its founding in 1950. We occasionally publish guest posts, and welcome inquiries from theater professionals who’d like to write for us.
