Theater Spotlight of the Week: Shawn Gann
Interview with Shawn Gann, Director of Anna in the Tropics
Teatro de la Rosa is presenting the Tarrant County premiere of Nilo Cruz's Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Anna in the Tropics. Shawn Gann is directing, so I took the opportunity to feature him and find out more about the show and Fort Worth's only Hispanic theater company.
We start off by talking about his career and how he became involved with Teatro de la Rosa.

Since this is one of his first times directing such a large production, he talks about the challenges and obstacles he has faced.
I ask him how Anna in the Tropics was chosen as part of the season and what attracted him to this piece. He talks about the show's significance to a Fort Worth audience. We end by talking about what he wants the audience to feel after watching the show.
