After 40 years in Boston area theater – with the first 31 spent in community theater – three-time IRNE winner Shana Dirik has assumed the position of Producing Artistic Director with her own company, Theater Uncorked. The company’s first project will be a one night event, “Sweeney Todd in Concert – A Pop-Up Musical”, and will be directed by 2018 Elliott Norton Award Winner Allison Olivia Choat. Dirik (Mrs. Lovett), Ben DiScipio (Sweeney Todd) and Paul Farwell (Judge Turpin) will reprise their roles from the 2009 Metro Stage Company production, which earned Dirik and DiScipio IRNE Awards. Theater Mirror spoke with Dirik about the new company as she prepared for the June 2nd performance.
