American Theatre is proud to be the venue for Theatrical Mustang, an independently produced podcast from actor-writer-activist Woodzick. Each month they bring listeners interviews with unbridled talent and cultural trailblazers from across the country.

This month Woodzick goes James Lipton on the versatile Chicago-based actor August Forman, currently starring as Romeo in Oak Park Theatre Festival’s Romeo and Juliet through this Saturday, Oct. 17. They talk about how August’s career opened up in many ways after they accepted themselves as trans, about a life-changing moment performing an affirming monologue in Tiny Beautiful Things, and about their bucket-list roles (including The Drowsy Chaperone‘s Man in Chair).

August’s other credits include Rachel Bloom: Death, Let Me Do My ShowHand to GodCharlie and Chocolate FactoryLittle Shop of HorrorsLight FallsRutherford and SonElizabeth RexThe Fair Maid of the WestPlot Points in Our Sexual DevelopmentA Kind of WeatherOnce Upon a MattressTwelfth NightThe Lady Demands Satisfaction, and Girl in the Red Corner. They’ve work at such Chicago area theatres as Steppenwolf, Paramount Theatre, Drury Lane Theatre, Victory Gardens, TimeLine, Theo Ubique, Broken Nose, and Babes With Blades, and at such regional theatres as TheatreSquare in Fayetteville, Ark., and the Diversionary Theatre in San Diego, Calif.
