4615 Theatre unveils a bold, diverse new slate of online programming New initiative 4615 Go premieres with "It's For You." 6SHARES Old Soul: Jordan Friend With live, in-person performances still a distant hope, 4615 Theatre has been focusing instead on expanding into other realms of theater and theatricality. “We’ve found much more inspiration in looking in places that aren’t really theater, where we find the spirit of theater manifested,” says Jordan Friend, the D.C.-area company’s founding artistic director. “We had to ask ourselves: What makes something theatrical?” One defining characteristic that Friend and producing director Gregory Keng Strasser agreed on: “[It has] to create experiences where each iteration feels unique to the person experiencing them — rather than, say, filming something and putting it on a stream. That’s not theatrical to us.”
