Jon Lawrence Rivera is the co-founder and artistic director of Playwrights' Arena in Los Angeles; a theater dedicated to "to discovering, nurturing and producing bold new works for the stage written exclusively by Los Angeles playwrights."

On today's episode, Jon and I discuss his early life in the Philippines and Australia and how those experiences shaped the kinds of stories he seeks to tell. We also delve into the new play process and the journey a new play takes from page to stage.
